Obama Declares Swine Flu State Of Emergency
MSNBC reports that President Barack Obama has signed a proclamation declaring swine flu a national emergency.
“In keeping with the administration’s proactive approach to H1N1 Flu, President Obama last night signed a proclamation declaring 2009-H1N1 Influenza a national emergency,” the White House said in a statement.
“The proclamation enhances the ability of our nation’s medical treatment facilities to handle a surge in H1N1 patients by allowing, as needed, the waiver of certain standard federal requirements on a case-by-case basis,” thre statement read.
Officials described the move as similar to a declaration ahead of a hurricane making landfall.
I really don’t see H1N1 as an emergency. Regular flu is more lethal. I do find H1N1 very curious. H1N1 is part bird flu, part human flu Type A, human flu Type B, part American Swine Flu and part European Swine Flu. Scientists say the chances of something like that forming naturally are 1/10th of 1%. The corollary of that is that H1N1 has a 99.9% chance of forming un-naturally. What is the unnatural agent?
