Pres. Obama Declares H1N1 A National Emergency
WASHINGTON (AP) ―
President Barack Obama has declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency.
The White House on Saturday said Obama signed a proclamation that would allow medical officials to bypass certain federal requirements. Officials described the move as similar to a declaration ahead of a hurricane making landfall.
Swine flu is more widespread now than it's ever been and has resulted in more than 1,000 U.S. deaths so far.
Health authorities say almost 100 children have died from the flu, known as H1N1, and 46 states now have widespread flu activity.
The White House said Obama signed the declaration on Friday evening.
It has more to do with this "that would allow medical officials to bypass certain federal requirements", than with any severe problems with people expiring from the flu.
yeah, lets all panic and move into fema camps while we can still pick the good ones...
For a troll with 2 posts you sure are dumb.
its called sarcasm dip ...and what makes you think i'm a troll, nice to know how you guys welcome someone...
i mean, a simple, "welcome to the board, " would have sufficed...besides i used to post here before. just lost my acct info.
Has the swine flu been tested agains the swine flu?
Does it work?
Does it make $Bs for BigPharma?
If you're gonna get butt hurt after being called something as benign as "dumb", then this probably isn't for you. Welcome to the board, .
welcome to the board . The guy calling you a troll is the perfect definition of it. He never adds anything to the posts and will do exactly what he just did. He's a middle school kid who's parents are going through some problems. He's screaming for help on the inside.
for a with 12000 posts you sure can't detect sarcasm.
That might be a politically correct way of saying "quarantine camps". I don't know. I've read that the US like most countries have signed an agreement with the World Health Organization that gives certain powers to the WHO on a local and state level to implement pandemic plans.
But digging through the national disaster preparedness plan is like reading the small print on the back of a prescription pamphlet
Section 361 authorizes the Secretary to make and enforce regulations necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States, or from one state or possession into any other State or possession. CDC administers these regulations as they relate to quarantine of humans. Diseases for which individuals may be quarantined are specified by Executive Order; the most recent change to the list of quarantinable diseases was the April 1, 2005 Executive Order 13375, which amended the Executive Order 13295 by adding “influenza caused by novel or reemergent influenza viruses that are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic” to the list. Other provisions in le III of the PHS Act permit HHS to establish quarantine stations, provide care and treatment for persons under quarantine, and provide for quarantine enforcement. Section 311 of the PHS Act provides for Federal-state cooperative activities to enforce quarantine and plan and carry out public health activities. Section 311 also authorizes the Secretary to make available the resources of the PHS to help control epidemics and deal with other public health emergencies. HHS may also engage in certain international activities under section 307 of the PHS Act. Statute 42 U.S.C. § 97, which provides that the Secretary of Health and Human Services may request that Customs, Coast Guard, and military officers aid in the execution of quarantines imposed by states.

I don't know folks, maybe this is nothing but there's some spooky stuff that's now legal to contain this "pandemic". So far we've had adjuvant free swine flu shots but with this madness plus the shortage of vaccinations, there might come a day very soon where untested adjuvants are added to the swine flu shot and maybe the average person will be compelled to take the vaccination if they want to travel or work or shop?
Of course I wouldn't put it past our elected officials to just play games to maintain a sense of legitimacy and appearance of being "proactive" in the face of a "pandemic".

For a 2-Dimensional being with 2000 posts, you absolutely never add anything worthwhile to threads anymore.
meh H1N1 is my clan tag in cod4
I have to take issue with this.
Ignig adds incoherence, gay baiting, erotic musing and breathless hilarity to every thread he posts in.
Oh, wait. That's not worthwhile.
Carry on, CryHavoc.
You should edit your posts. That sequence didn't require using three posts.Carry on, CryHavoc.
Check.
Maybe not. Sometimes I go by how it looks on the page.
So sue me.
