If you are "more at risk" to have a deadly infectious virus, like you just got back from a pig-licking tour of Mexico* where you were repeatedly sneezed on, then you should see a real medical professional. Homeopaths do not necessarily have medical degrees and all they can do is give you sugar water and then maybe contract swine flu from you and then you can die in one another's arms, just like Romeo and Juliet only stupider, which is really saying something....In the meantime, feel free to self-treat your deadly, human race-ending disease with a variety of other products, all of which are actually just water and therefore are, in fact, perfectly safe for everyone from babies to the elderly. Until they all die of the swine flu.
Heh. Go read the whole thing.

I was going to try to sleep in this morning but my kid couldn't find her femur---long story. So I figured I might as well brew up a pot of Pal's Special, put up some Irish steel cut oatmeal, and review this weeks insanity.
This has been a rough week for the public's health education. The flu…
I have a handful of comments, mostly about how what you are seeing on the news is unimportant, and one comment about why you actually should worry. Within reason.
The new Swine Flu has now been verified in nineteen US states, with 141 cases. Technically there is 1 death, but since the young…
A reader (hat tip, sandy) has pointed me to a very interesting interview with CDC's chief virologist, Ruben Donis, in Science Magazine's blog, ScienceInsider. In it he provides further information on the confusing reports about the species origin of the current swine flu, originally said to be of…
One of the things we'd like to know about the swine flu virus is its Case Fatality Ratio (CFR, commonly called a case fatality rate, although it isn't technically a rate but a proportion). But what is a CFR? And how is it different from a mortality rate?
The CFR is an estimate of the probability…

hi mike ,
the very nature of prejudice about the things which we know little or none itself well described as symptom in homeopathy , pl take a note of it , i assure you it is not the system at mistake - we do make mistakes after mistakes brushing aside - and ultimately pushed / pushing this planets diverse fauna and flora ( including human race - green house effect) at this time think with wisdom not alone with attitude - "wisdom with attitude win freedom for all"
Did you sneeze prabakaran?
I see that you have followed the homeopathic approach to wisdom: you have taken one small bit of wisdom (that we make mistakes), then diluted it such an extent that it no longer exists.
You have taken an average IQ of 100, diluted it 10C and now have an IQ of 0.000000000000000001. That's a fearsomely potent IQ for a homeopath!
Another sneeze prabakaran?

Thanks for the translation. My head exploded about a dozen words into Prab's only sentence. Be careful though. he/she/it may be the modern equivalent of Typhoid Mary - Swine Flu Prab. totally engulfed, but blissfully ignorant he/she/it is spreading sh*tpiles....

very thanks for article!
