It's an enormous Big Pharma Conspiracy, one of many on the go at the moment. See how much the stock price of Tamiflu manufacturers went up?

I am not scared enough ... where are the foreigners and their scary cultural beliefs. That sort of stuff can keep me voting for years.

Apparently 36000 people die of normal flu in the US every year so it does have a way to go to catch up.

Epic thread drift. I approve.
The difference between normal flu and swine flu is that it's apparently affecting people in the 25-40 age bracket - ie. supposedly fit and healthy people.

Also the fact that it's thought to be efficiently from person to person. That bracket of
people dying from normal flu is mainly 3rd world, the very young and the very old.
Thankfully this new strain hasn't been as efficient in killing people as the bird flu (which
could kill easily but couldn't move from person to person so well).

Swine flu appears to be spreading efficiently betweens threads at the moment.

i would buy a finger size cam, a hand size cam and three or four hexes, the smallest hex being bigger than your biggest wire.

I'd get a full set of nuts, a smattering of tri cams and larger hexes and no cams to start with but keep adding cams as I went/saved. And yes, WC Rockcentrics
anyone used/seen in person the Viamont tricams? (and yes i've seen them on climbinganchors so please don't send me a link)
