Terry Haines Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 ...funny, today I have seen nothing of this on USA news but they know we are in a 'National Emergency' in UK?????????? BBC NEWS US swine flu 'national emergency' US President Barack Obama has declared swine flu a national emergency. The White House said the president signed the proclamation concerning the 2009 H1N1 outbreak on Friday evening. It increases the ability of treatment facilities to handle a surge in H1N1 patients by allowing the implementation of emergency plans. Last week US officials said swine flu activity was widespread in more than 40 states. More that 1,000 deaths have been linked to the virus. Vaccine warning US officials said the president's declaration was similar to ones issued before hurricanes make landfall. It allows authorities to bypass certain federal requirements in order to deal more effectively with emergencies. Last week, US officials warned there could be delays in the delivery of swine flu vaccines. Anne Schuchat, of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said only 28-30 million doses would be available by the end of October, down from an earlier estimate of 40 million. Ms Schuchat said swine flu activity was widespread, with hospitalisations and deaths continuing to increase.

Speedmaster Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Maryland has been in a "State of Emergency" since April 29th of this year.....the governor's emergency powers include isolation,arrest,trials,fines and imprisonment at his discretion. Interesting what "powers" the government has compared to the states........ Edited October 30, 2009 by Speedmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-RadSVTour Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 The deaths attributed to H1N1 are tragic, but do they constitute an emergency from a percentage basis? Of course not. Remember the plague? Now that was an emergency. So, when we have a bonafide emergency, what will it be called? A "super emergency"? A "super-mega emergency"? When are we supposed to really pay attention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rac74 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Only sheeple will get the vaccine. They're offering swine flu vaccinations at no charge to anyone that wants one at school here. They seem to be offering a lot of inventives for people to take them voluntarily and people are swallowing them up. What ever happened to 'just say no to drugs'? The brief 'news' I saw the other night, NY State had issued an emergency as well. Not liking where this may head in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
