In Thailand, the government has swept Swine Flu under the rug so the upcoming tourist season doesn't take a hit. It was on the front page of all the papers for a while until the government put a gag order on the media and would not let them report on Swine Flu unless it was cleared by the government first. Strangely, that was the last we heard of Swine Fly over here. :helpme There will be no martial law, no quarantine, no hassle. Some people will die, some won't, and that will be that.
I came back to the USA from Asia during the SARS nonsense a few years back. I had the flu pretty bad, so went to the hospital in Cincinnati. As soon as I told them I just returned from Asia, I was instantly quarantined for 10 days. Freedom baby! Turned out I had the flu (and pink eye), but they held me anyway, "just in case."
Some of you live in a dream world if you think the powers that be won't lock you down should ANY problem get out of hand. If H1N1 becomes too big an issue, they will implement martial law for "the safety of the people." This you can count on. However, what will be interesting is, if a H1N1 disaster (with martial law) will coincidentally happen at the same time, or right before, a total failure of the US Banking system, which some experts say is coming. This would stop bank runs and total chaos from happening due to the collapse. I'm not saying I think this will happen, but I am saying, if it does, I could see it happening around the same time, for the sake of convenience. It just seems too many things are happing at the same time to be a coincidence. :2 cents:
