WASHINGTON — Governments are racing to find and contain pockets of swine flu around the globe, seeking to stem both the threat of a pandemic and public panic.

"We're preparing in an environment where we really don't know ultimately what the size or seriousness of this outbreak is going to be," U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Sunday.

In Mexico, the outbreak's epicenter, soldiers handed out 6 million face masks to help stop the spread of the novel virus that is suspected in up to 103 deaths. Most other countries are reporting only mild cases so far, with most of the sick already recovering. Cases have been confirmed in Canada _ six _ and the U.S. _ 20 _ and other countries from Spain to New Zealand were investigating whether other people with flulike symptoms really have this new swine flu or something else.

There is not a global pandemic yet, but waiting until scientists know if the new virus is going to spread rapidly and easily would be too late.

The U.S. declared the health emergency amid confusion about whether new numbers really mean ongoing infections _ or just that health officials had missed something simmering for weeks or months. But the move allows the government to ship roughly 12 million doses of flu-fighting medications from a federal stockpile to states in case they eventually need them.


A spokesman for the World Health Organization, Peter Cordingley, said the virus was spreading quickly in Mexico and the southern U.S. and has the potential to become a pandemic and a global threat.

President Barack Obama is set to address the health crisis Monday in remarks to a meeting of the nation's top scientists. His administration sought on Sunday to strike a balance, informing Americans without panicking them.

and millions of Americans were infected and thousands died and hundreds of thousands were hospitalized because of swine flu a less fatal and less infectious disease than covid 19 ! thanks to Trump we haven't seen those numbers and we wont ! Trump is a much much better leader !

The swine (Trump?) flu lasted for a full year, we will see how bad the Trump-19 virus is a year from now.

ohhh i get it ! when the virus is contained and the crisis is over the faggots are going to claim that thousands died that we thought died from the regular flu right faggot ! fat chance homo ! according what weve seen this virus has overloaded hospitals in China and other coutries ! it hasnt happened here because Trump took early action action yall labeled as racist !

Listen sissy, Nazi Don closed the barn door AFTER the Trump-19 virus was already here.

The swine flu vaccine killed more people than it saved. Thanks Jimmy Carter and Red China (where swine flu originated). Dumkoft Jimmy Carter just happened to be President.

Check your calendar, revisionist. 1976 belonged to Gerald Ford.

Carter Derangement Syndrome lasts a lifetime. Remember blame everything you can on him. He wanted to decriminalize Cannabis, make us energy independent from the ME, and reduce our world wide military interventions.

Carter wanted to do a lot of things, but couldn't because he isn't a leader.

Jimmy Carter graduated the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. I thought you had to smart to do that. Nixon was a 60 day wonder aka OCS.

Carter was NOT president Ford was, and it originated at Fort Dix NJ USA, but you knew that already.

That doesn't mean he's qualified to be a good President, obviously. Abraham Lincoln didn't get half the education Carter did, but he sure was a heroic National leader, wasn't he. There are qualities needed for leadership that can't be taught.

the swine flu h1n1 infected millions in the US and hundreds of thousands were hospitalized and thousands died ! where was the panic ? and where was the criticism of the Obama administrations poor performance in containing it ? i hate to politicize the covid 19 outbreak but that ship has already sailed thanks to the left ! but hopefully we will not loose nearly as many Americans to covid 19 as we did to swine flu h1n1 ...and if we dont what will the left have to say about the Trump administrations response compared to Obamas response to swine flu h1n1 a less lethal virus that killed thousands and hospitalized hundreds of thousands ?

The H1N1 virus was a common flu that our vaccine didn’t work against.


Even idiots should know that

where was the criticism of the Obama administrations poor performance in containing it ? i hate to politicize the covid 19 outbreak

There was nothing to criticize in Obama's EXCELLENT and PERFECT handling of the swine (Trump?) flu, unlike Nazi Don"s complete failure to contain the Trump-19 virus.

Obama - 18,000 dead

trump - 40 dead

LIAR!
so typical of the worthless lying scum Right, overstate Obama's deaths by 50% and understate Nazi Don's deaths.

Some sources do claim “only” 10,000 deaths under obama

but those are earlier numbers

later research says the total could be 10 times higher

2009 Flu Pandemic Was 10 Times More Deadly Than Previously Thought

so you pays your money and takes your choice

So now rather than admit you lied about the number of USA deaths, you now blame worldwide deaths on Obama.
So that means Nazi Don is up to 5,416 deaths in only 2 months.

When you have the blob...a pathological lying whoremonger who couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it coupled with an administration that takes glee in promoting policies that permanently hurt people, separate kids from their parents as a policy, coupled with his history swindling anyone who allows it...there is no trust in the bank to draw from.

I can’t blame the public for having zero confidence in this buffoon who even at this point seems more intent on settling political scores than his duty.


The media isn’t helping with the round-the-clock coverage which has induced panic buying.

I did not call you a liar for relying on a different reference

If it is only 10,000, which your sainted NPR doubts, that is still far more than the current commie virus

Obama let over 80,000 people die from swine flu because he wouldn't ask Congress for oinkment.

Notice how the worthless lying scum Right when caught lying simply make the lie bigger. The original lie of 16,000 USA deaths has now been further exaggerated to 80,000.

Obama asked Congress for "oinkment" BEFORE anyone died!!!!
Don't you worthless lying scum POS ever get tired of lying?????

The H1N1 influenza virus was discovered in the United States in the spring of 2009 and spread around the world.
It was originally referred to as "swine flu" because many genes in the virus were similar to influenza viruses that normally occur in pigs in North America.

The Obama administration declared H1N1 a public health emergency on April 26, 2009.
That was when only 20 cases of H1N1 — and no deaths — around the country had been confirmed.

Two days later, the administration made an initial funding request for H1N1 to Congress. Eventually $7.65 billion was allocated for a vaccine and other measures.

The difference is that we had a president who knew what he was doing, inspired confidence, and did spread misinformation or tweet inanities.

Oh bull!....You people look for anything you can twist into the worst ever because you can't win on your ideas....So, you've whipped up panic in the population for your own ends....you suck.

Sent from my SM-T587P using Tapatalk

Whether he knew or not, he was seen as having the nations best people respond as best they could and supporting them. So there was no "panic." That's the difference. Trump just didn't want numbers of infected people to be seen going up, so his admin chose not to test. And people see that

That is just not accurate....Do you understand how these things are developed? It takes a little bit for our research community to isolate the virus, then devolop tests for that virus. Then they have to produce said tests....It doesn't happen overnight.
