lol that makes perfect sense, the fucking flu came from mexico. if you read anything on epidemics the first thing you want to do is control the source of it, it's just going to get worse and worse if nothing is controlled. And you pretty much proved my point, the CDC is the government.

swine flu isn't anymore deadly than a regular flu left untreated (because there is no cure for swine flu)
most people here I am guessing are young adults in good health so it shouldn't be much of a concern

I think the point is that an organization created for the purpose of disease control and that is staffed with trained and educated professionals is 1000x more qualified to say whether closing our borders would make a difference than a random person on the internet.

yeah you're a genius, this isn't just me saying this, there are hundreds of people including politicians saying this. seriously READ ANYTHING ON Epidemiology. then let's see if you still agree with that side

Because clearly the health issue is the only issue at work here?
Shutting down an entire border is a major decision that can have other ramifications. Obviously it takes more than the basic knowledge of epidemiology (which the CDC has obviously considered), to decide whether its the right thing to do.

Have you even considered the impact of closing the border, politically, economically and socially? There's a fine line between precaution and overreaction.

lol this is such socialist thinking it makes me sick, so you would rather have the chance of millions of people dieing for the sake of other political reasons that aren't as extreme?

It also targeted young healthy people rather than just old people and babies. So 20 years-olds would get sick then be dead a day or 2 later. I think some people though are blowing it out of proportion. Humans should have a healthy respect for disease. It has whooped our butts too many times in the past for us to not take it seriously. Read up on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1918_flu_pandemicNow, we don't know if this will be a pandemic like that one, but we better make sure we are taking seriously from the very beginning just in case. In absolute numbers the spanish flu might be comparable to the plague of 1348, but "only" 3 percent of the infected deceased, while a third of the european population died because of the black death. The world population was just much bigger in 1918. edit: of course I agree with you we should take this seriously, just wanted to make this clear edit: oops, someone was faster
This is definitely true. I almost included a sentence about how the world population was very different between the 2 time periods in my post.
But I do think that people forget how horrible the Spanish Flu really was. We talk a lot about wars killing a lot of people (think about all the news a little war like our invasion of Iraq got) and yet, at least in my school, we hardly talked about the Spanish Flu at all. That just seems weird to me.

A) Realize we're in the middle of an economic shitstorm. What do you think happens to all trade with Mexico if we shut down our border? Closing borders is a last second resort that you don't fuck with unless you're damn sure that it's worth it
B) For the love of god, learn what the fuck socialism is
