    Swine Flu "The world's governments raced to avoid both a pandemic and global hysteria Sunday as more possible swine flu cases surfaced from Canada to New Zealand and the United States declared a public health emergency. "It's not a time to panic," the White House said.

    Mexico, the outbreak's epicenter with up to 86 suspected deaths, canceled some church services and closed markets and restaurants. Few people ventured onto the streets, and some wore face masks. Canada became the third country to confirm cases, in six people, including some students who — like some New York City spring-breakers — got mildly ill in Mexico. Countries across Asia promised to quarantine feverish travelers returning from flu-affected areas.

    what is the sign and lesson we should learn from the pig?

      Ahhhh. Of Course. That we should not eat pigs meat.

      And from those who die of eating poisonous plants, I've learned not to eat vegetables or fruit.

      And from those who die of eating toxic fish, I've learned not to eat any seafood.

      And from those who die of eating spoiled food of any kind, I've learned not to eat any food.

      I'm now going to enjoy the rest of my short life before I die of starvation.

      Wheee, this religion stuff is simple!

        Clean is good for us.
        and
        that's good point; the bible defined the clean animal meat, and unclean animal meat and this in bible:
        “You shall not eat any abomination."
        and; "These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep. Every animal that parts the hoof and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. Yet of those that chew the cud or have the hoof cloven you shall not eat these: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, are unclean for you. And the pig, because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch."
        read more from bible:

          Yeah but that was what they had in that part of the world.  Why did they say not to eat a specific animal?  Did it make them sick or did they not cook it properly.  There is a reason for that, not just because God said so.

    Already God told us in Holly Books(Torah, bible, Koran); don't eat the pig's meat; when we could follow our God without argument; when we could learn from the pig?

    why we cover our eyes and deny God; we we do not open our eyes to see and listen well to God's words?
    I think if we could think well and open our hearts for God's words; all of us should be same, having same belief; because whatever, there is one God of us, whatever the names of messages or prophets, or holly books, or time; all of them lead to one God; and shouldn't be any doubt in our God.

      Well actually it said not to eat pig skin. I bring that up because the news was reporting that the disease was not coming from contaminated pork meat.

      But anyways, this is disturbing.  I heard about the swine flu a couple weeks ago.  The news said that they still needed to investigate its potential for pandemic even though they already knew.

      They just let it go.  And even though most deaths have occurred in Mexico, they are still allowing people to travel back and forth.  Doesn't sound like the wisest thing they have ever come up with.

But whatever, if that is how you feel then fine.  No point in offering you anything even if I was agreeing with you in the first place.  Maybe you are being too judgmental and you don't even know me.  Probably because we had a difference in soul and spirit.

              So this new reports suggest quarantine but they aren't doing it between Mexico and Texas and Mexico and California.  This is what I was saying.

              So your saying, don't let God force you to believe, believe on your own will, right?  Okay, I actually agree.  big_smile

                If you could read this the other way around for a second.  He is saying that in the holy books God said when disease breaks out don't allow people to travel...

                ie: spread the disease across borders, towns, cities, nations, continents etc... I think he was also trying to say that these kinds of flue are springing up because we are doing things to them that aren't natural.

                I think someone brought up mad cow disease.  Mad cow disease happened when some people thought it would be okay to serve a cow, a cow like cow cannibalism or something.

                  I see what you mean. I have read it again.I would not have thought that the various departments of health would need to be taught what to do by a god. They are dealing with logistics that were never conceived in biblical times, and will have major infrastructure changes to implement before land sea and air borders can be closed.The viruses and diseases are evolving still, and have been around in one form or another for much longer than we have.

                    True but still, knowing this they aren't closing the Mexican border.  I know it would be a hardship on some people but from what I heard on the news.  It only last like 10 days or something but that you are good to go once your symptoms subside and then add a couple of days to be safe.

                    Air travel would be a lot harder but the border??? They could at least do that since it is where it seems to be coming from.

          Okay so I did double check and the Qur'an says in Surah 5 Al-Maidah

          3 Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine and that on which has been invoked by a name other than Allah; that which has been killed by strangling or by a violent blow, or by headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that of which has been partially eaten by a wild animal; unless you are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrified on stone arrows - that is impiety.

      I hope they all recover OK. It seems many who caught this flu survive quite well while others do not. A disturbing report from BBC radio said that two doctors they interviewed said the outbreak was under-reported and that several doctors who had been immunized had died anyway, showing that they were still not immune to this virulent strain of the flu virus. If true, this is very frightening for those in Mexico at the heart of this outbreak, and bad news for the world.

        The only pork that has the problems you speak of mohamedhhm is wild pork. Commercial pork is good food and has to meet very strict food standards.
        In the times of moses it would not have taken long to learn that eating pig was a bad idea.Many of the other mosaic laws suited the times too.

          so if you believe in Torah you should listen to the bible- after Torah; or you deny God; and if you believe in bible; you should follow his last book Koran- after bible-; and all of them clear about pig meat:" do not eat".
          so when we could understand, and accept God and his messages and come together with strong faith; because if we believe in God, we should accept his messages without argument and deny any messages, orders, prophets..

      Yeah Swine Flu did make a round before but when it did the president had everyone get vaccinated.  This was in something like the 60-70?? I cant remember but something like that.

      So, it may be no wonder that some of those doctors who were vaccinated still died because it is not the same virus at it was before.  Swine Flu found a way.  Flu always does.

                    Estimates say the Spanish flu of 1918 killed between 40 to 50 million people, as many as 25 million in its first 25 weeks.

    No mohamedhmm, what I'm saying is that Christians do not have to follow the Levitical law now since Jesus Christ died on the cross it fulfilled the law (2 Corinthians 3:11-18).  We can eat pork.

    Besides I just heard on the news 10 minutes ago that there is no possible way of catching swine flu from eating meat products from pigs.

    The Mexico death count is over 100 now, mostly around Mexico City.

      The Mexican Government could not bolt the structure together to stop the flu in time, and there were long delays resulting in (as of this morning) 140 deaths notified so far. It has also been stated that the lack of structure may mean that there are many more deaths as yet unreported.

      this is just at New Testament letter(which its human mind made)..
      Is God told us to eat pig meat(pork) in bible?; i doubt in that.

      if you go by Torah or bible or the last holly book; it's so clear that, God told us not to eat pork; and if you do, you disobedient for God...
      but God will forgive if you go back to him with faithful heart.
      and that's the sign should learn from current news; it's just alarm; and doesn't mean the End.
      we need to read the signs.
      and read this is from the bible in new testament:
      New American Standard Bible (©1995)
      "The pig, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses."
      and read more from the bible about pig meat:
      Deuteronomy 14:8 "The pig, because it divides the hoof but does not Never eat their meat or touch their dead bodies. King James Bible; And the pig is unclean to you, because though it has a division in the horn :

        Okay mohamedhmm, I'll post 2 Corinthians 3:11-18 for you.


        The five books of Moses (Torah) are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

        I seen an online report about a half an hour ago where Israel was bragging that they won't get the swine flu there because both Jews and Muslims have dietary laws against pig products.  But if someone from Israel is in contact with someone that has the swine flu they have just as good a chance of getting it as anyone.  You don't get swine flu from eating pig products.  I'm glad too cause pork tenderloin is my favorite.

          ===========

          Islamic countries are safe from swine flu; because Muslims follow the Koran, Torah and bible; and may be few countries- where Christians eat pig meats- could have some cases and because travel; but the chance is so low there; because God knew what's better for us; it's just for our own good, nothing else; and it's up to us to have strong belief in God or not; it's our choice.
          this issue is clear for me.

        It's also a reason of logic. No offence to Mexico, but obviously they're not quite up to par in various things like medicine and what not have you compared to the USA.

        Granted, I'm not saying there's no such thing as a clean and competent Mexico city and hospital, but they definitely don't have them with the same frequency as available in other parts of North America.

        Australia should be pretty good on it, I imagine, since there will be little travel between Australia and North America where people have come down with this particular strain. It's a rather odd virus that is rather good at adapting to its surroundings. Most strains of the virus people come down with year after year end up starting somewhere in Africa/Asia.

        This year, sounds like Mexico became a popular destination for people in those countries. Or it may be a random thing generated by one farmer's swine, though I couldn't tell you for sure.

        What I can tell you, for sure is its being overblown. When we see reports of death after death, day after day, then you have a reason to worry.

        But unless it's got some extra trick up it's sleeves (as if a virus was a living thing to begin with...) you're probably not be going to be seeing that. Just like the other "flu" viruses that have made the airwaves in recent years.

        Maybe at the time they were written, they were indeed just the 'good' books, containing knowledge...  Which most people did not HAVE at the time--neither literacy or good hygiene knowledge, or many other things.  I was thinking today talking to a native woman here in AZ, how it seems easy this would be the next step up from an oral tradition (which the tribes have rules about and describe as sacred).  Wouldn't scribes writing down the knowledge in a book and the process, plus the artifact seem holy in a just literate people, then, too?

        The clinging to these ideas maybe connects people to their traditions and identity when there are too many changes for them to handle, (ahem?).  Opposition probably even makes them feel stronger about what they 'think.'

        The very same thing can and should be said of those who blindly believe some book which is way out of date and has been manipulated by the government of ROME.

    Now, do we think the mutated H1N1 virus is an example of an evolutionary process, or is it just God's latest exercise in Creation?

    Swine flu doesn't lead us to God, it leads us the toilet and to bed. What are you smoking?

    1,027 people in the whole world of over a billion people have tested positive for Swine Flu!  People you are doing exactly what the governments and health Orgs want you to do--panic over nothing! A billion people--people think!!
    Now think of why they want you all to do that?  What are they trying to sell?
    More importantly what are they trying to hide?

    Poor damn pigs....they give us bacon, ham, and pickled pigs feet...

    They were among the first of God's creatures to be domesticated...and eaten...

    A study by the University of Iowa, in 1994, found swine flu, passed from pig to human, occurred within a group of folks tending swine on a regular basis. Now why would this suddenly pop up when we have a historical calculation that shows no reports of this viral transference in prior human history..? One supposition is that it has been around a long time, ill defined, and running a normal course of infection that eventually terminated on its own.

    I'm not giving up my ham and eggs for anybody....
