Swine Flu Tweets

witter is a fantastic news source.  I just checked the Yahoo news page, and it’s far, far behind what Breaking News is reporting about the swine flu outbreaks.  Here are BNO’s recent tweets:

“It is clear that this is widespread. And that is why we have let you know that we cannot contain the spread of this virus” – CDC tells BNO.

BULLETIN — CDC: SWINE FLU SPREADING, CANNOT BE CONTAINED.
11 minutes ago from BNO Headquarters

The CDC says it is investigating an unknown number of suspected U.S. swine flu cases and has stepped up border patrol as a result.

BULLETIN — CDC SAYS IT IS INVESTIGATING SUSPECTED SWINE FLU CASES IN THE U.S., PATROLLING THE BORDER TO STOP SPREADING.
21 minutes ago from BNO Headquarters

URGENT — New York City Department of Health announces unscheduled news conference: http://adjix.com/45vu
about 1 hour ago from BNO Headquarters

I checked on that last one – the NYC news conference is indeed about influenza. But my favorite tweet in the series was this one:

The World Health Organization says it has concluded its emergency meeting without taking actions – Reuters.
31 minutes ago from BNO Headquarters

Thank you, UN, we can always count on you to be Johnny on the spot.  Should we go ahead and write you another check now?

    Did you see this at the end of March – with some kind of accident in flu vaccines  but it looked deliberate – like someone was maybe trying to create a pandemic:

    And this new strain has never been seen before; swine/avian/human…so has some mad scientist been very busy? or not?  There is a nutty scientist out there who promotes this very idea…but I can’t recall his name. His point is to “save the planet” – the ultimate greenie…

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
