Someone Seal the Border
- Mexico City closed schools across the metropolis of 20 million Friday after at least 16 people died and more than 900 others fall ill from what health officials suspect is a new strain of swine flu. World health officials worried that it could mark the start of a flu pandemic.
The World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland said at least 57 have died in the outbreak, although it wasn't yet clear if this larger number of deaths was due to swine flu.
"We are very, very concerned," said Thomas Abraham, a spokesman for the agency. "We have what appears to be a novel virus and it has spread from human to human." If international spread is confirmed, that meets WHO's criteria for raising the pandemic alert level, he added.
Seeing as how we have contact with dozens of people every single day, police should be extra cautious. You don't want to bring anything home you didn't leave for work with.

Uh....... no...... no...... no......... it's too fucking easy.......
Seeing that the last 8 years the Border has been porous as ever & human traffic flows freely across it, it's just a matter of time the flu pandemic is brought right here to Chicago via these private bus companies that shuttle folks here on a weekly basis.
OT- Congrats on your wedding P.O. D.M. and good luck to you and your bride !! Giggity Giggity!!
I give it a day or less before some asshole, liberal, ACLU-type civilian makes "a funny" that tries to establish a comedic correlation between the "Pig Flu" and the crime rate here in Shitcago.
Does this mean no carnitas at Don Pedro this Sunday morning?
This could be a strain of the dreaded avian flu fom asia somehow incubated south of the border.Let's pray that this is not the influenza strain the epidemiologists have been in fear of the past few years.
OT: 5 injured in separate shootings around city

Buls*it, there were 5 shootings in area 2 alone by 5;00 pm on the 24 April. Please get some range time in, ALL my friends in blue.
close down all the illegal street food vendors in the Mexican and outlying areas in city of chicago! the city backed off- now see how this problem has grown exponentially- sounds like illegal immigration!too!
Watch, next the Mexicans will be blaming the US for creating this strain of flu and infecting them.
ITs ok,i go home now.dont eat at any fast food or Mexican inns.stay away from the food
sealing the border wont solve this type of problem
SEAL THE BORDER NOW!! DALEY HAS ENOUGH ILLEGALS HERE FOR U TO WORRY ABOUT DRUG VIOLENCE LET ALONE A HEALTH CRISIS!!-SEMPER FI
VIVA MEXICO VIVA DALEY VIVA THE ILLENESS EPIDEMIC
Stay away Keesing Bandit!
I just finished TARA. Wha a fucken joke. For 5 days lets pretend that the department and city wants us to be Alert and Aware. I know the department can care less if your going to stay alive once you make your 1st notification at a hazmat scene...thanks for not having a single fucken gas mask to issue..
Face it the border will NEVER be Closed. Too many make money off of the illegals for that to happen. We are over a hundred years due for an pandemic. It is coming so pray and try to be safe. We can control the border so thousands more will be coming seeking medical attention.Then again our jobs will make us stay at work.You can go home an infect your family. ???? Now add this to the growing violence=Kiss the USA good bye
ALL EMPIRES FALL-Semper Fi
I blame Whitey. I don't know how, I just do.

No mas, no mas
The m-f-er's shot up my late night burrito joint in Scummit early this morning. El Farol.
We Have more than one border! Haven't u heard 75 NY students broke out with the "FLU" We r the largest producer of SWINE! We don't import pig, we export! Can't blame one society over the other.
I can imagine how the Pandemic will spread through Chicago with the Mayor's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy concerning illegals. They are killing US Citizens every day with their drunk driving, violent crimes, etc. but Chicago lets them live in the haven City. Shame on you Mayor, what you don't do for future votes, you disgust me.
went to the medical section with the "flu," and the entire sign-in had "flu" entries.
i guarantee you that theres more then a few infected spilling out of the "El conejo" bus from mexico on 28th and kedzie, THIS MOMENT. this can be serious, we might not die from it cus we have the medicine, but rest assure it will spread to someone you know. God forbid it is more deadly to children if you have an infant or something. but fuck it, let them come unregulated spilling into our city, if the gov't dont care to secure our borders why should we right?
It would be wise to stock-up on N95 respirators in case this becomes a full blown pandemic. Sam's Club has 20 of these disposable masks for $11.
Heard on WBBM this morning that the Mexican Government believes the flu virus is from the U.S.A.
I'm sure Barry will apologize to them for this.
Oh no I feel a "blue flu" coming on soon, hope the bosses are ready to put in some street time soon!
They will be streaming into hospitals in Arizona, California and Illinois.
Of course, none of them have insurance, so they can not be expected to pay.
And the hospital cartel will not eat the expense, because then how would they pay a future FLOTUS $300K+ a year for a smoke job.
Hold on to your wallets friends...
Shoot everyone crossing the border illegally.
how about seal the districts! too many sick homeless people walking inside the district. they were told they could stay after a local church filed a lawsuit against us. 1 guy told the desk crew he has active TB. how about letting them stay at the local church? the city has put us at risk by turning police station into homeless shelters. we get stuck with sooooooo much non police social service shit. plus, contagious people coughing and farting on us all day.
I hope it isnt some rage virus like in Dawn of the Dead(2004) or 28 Days Later.
I HATE FAST ZOMBIES!!!
More reasons why we need to close our borders. Liberalism is killing us.

Seal which border? Mexican or the Peoples' Republic of California, which has already reported cases of the same strain of swine flu. Ay caramba!
OPEN BORDERS! WE ARE DOOMED!
Thank you Mr. President for taking all the mistakes that the mortgage lenders made and forming it into a law for the credit card companies. Sir, did you fail history at Columbia?
Border should be immediately sealed, period. No traffic inbound from Mexico until threat of flu pandemic subsides. CDC says only way to help stop spread is by washing hands. We know the source of the disease therefore quaranteen would stop a pandemic. Bunch of inept fools running the CDC. Only a 100 days into the new administration and they are doing more damage than Bush did in 8 years!
SWINE FLU - coming to a santuary city near you. Thanks Mayor, your voting block is going to cost some lives.
We've already let every foreigner with TB into this country, what's a little swine flu?
Why didn't Bush stop the illegal flow of illegals in our country? Afterall, he was "a conservative" right? I would expect it from a liberal but not "a conservative".

He touted that "they do the jobs most Americans won't do" & kept the border open to continue the flow of illegal cheap labor. A True American Hero.
For the Corporate World that is.

I knew this would be how we were attacked next. Pandemic, terrorist. What's the dif?
Now DALEY and Crew are going after any lapsed gun registrations-so if you registered a weapon and let it lapse expect a knock at the door soon by cage unit-you will be prosecuted

LETS JUST CLOSE THE BORDER AROUND 016!
Where is my Tamaflu? I filled out my piece of paper now where is my protection for me and my family before this shit gets out of hand. I bet we wont see shit until it is too late.
Yeah, this "strain" just magically appears as a combo of human, swine and bird flu variations. Bullshit.

The New York students just came back from a trip to MEXICO!
This is being called a "swine flu" but it's actually a combination of 2 different strains of swine flu, 1 strain of bird flu and 1 strain of human flu and that's why it's being transmitted from human to human without any contact with animals.
I've read that the incubation period for this flu virus is several days, and that people are contagious even when they don't appear to be sick. Worth goggling further detail, and posting it here. Also CDC said there was "nothing they could do" to contain the virus, given already wide-spread contamination by virus.
Q. The flu from Hong Kong (1968)was called "Hong Kong flu."
Why is the flu from Mexico not "Mexican flu," but "swine flu?"

If this report is true...
The ordinance was designed this way. I believe Terrence Gainer helped Daley I write it up when Gainer was Corporation Counsel.
Ever see the early forms? One little tan card, not today's multi-part nightmare.
Did it every enter anyone's mind where the average person is supposed to get all the little photographs required now that the self-serve photo machines in the dime stores and so forth are all gone? Running around on buses (yes) all day just for that alone...
Of course, when (white) police desk personnel pretend that they can't find blank registration forms for (even clean-cut, white, middle-aged, working, North and Northwest Side) citizens...
I was right there. I saw this.
The forms were there, too -- and the guy got them only because "someone he knew" happened to walk by in the station.
A lot of coppers have told me, "I'll quit my job before I'll take people's guns."
Fork in the road.
Guys were bitching here that they were ashamed to participate in a pedestrian-safety sting.
Let's hear how you feel about doing this.

Female cop in 012 hospitalized with type A influenza last week.... I think it's already here!
There are three types of influenza, depending on their activity: type A, which is usually the cause of outbreaks; type B, which is linked to sporadic cases, and type C, which rarely causes disease reactions..
Swine influenza virus (referred to as SIV) refers to influenza cases that are caused by Orthomyxoviruses endemic to pig populations. SIV strains isolated to date have been classified either as Influenzavirus C or one of the various subtypes of the genus Influenzavirus A.[1]
Swine flu infects people every year and is found typically in people who have been in contact with pigs, although there have been cases of person-to-person transmission.[2] Symptoms include fever, disorientation, stiffness of the joints, vomiting, and loss of consciousness ending in death.[3] Swine influenza is known to be caused by influenza A subtypes H1N1,[4] H1N2,[4] H3N1,[5] H3N2,[4] and H2N3.[6]
In swine, three influenza A virus subtypes (H1N1, H3N2, and H1N2) are circulating throughout the world.
God help us!
O'hare airport special employment officers and offiers assigned to the airport are now at risk!
Avoid anything Mexican? Give me a break. You just can wait for anything to start your racist bullshit. How about the Europeans bringing their diseases to the Native American Indians. We had no flu, colds, and other European diseases. Should have closed the border when Columbus stepped onshore.
Didn't the Irish leave Ireland because of a plaque?
It all started around the time when the U.S. president was in MEXICO one individual he interviewed died the next day now was this a failed attempt at taking out the President???
swine flu what about the health hazards from the unlicensed food vendors in the city
Travel advisory in effect; Americans advised not to travel to Mexico because of "the swine flu scare," as Channel 7 news is minimizing it.
Just a "scare," you understand; people being big sillies about things, not an actual problem.
Oh -- and that's "swine flu," not "Mexican flu."
In the meantime, Mexicans are perfectly free to continue coming here.
NO VIRUS EES ILLEGAL!
ABC News tonight-- There are something like 600 flights per day between Mexico and the U.S. The biggest border crossing point has something like 80,000 per day entering -- unimpeded.
They showed what we're doing -- officials standing there wearing masks looking stern as the crowds flood past them -- as contrasted by the Chinese, who, since the SARS outbreak, have set up thermal imaging cameras to scan arriving airport crowds!
Anyone over a preset temperature shows up red on the display and is physically grabbed out of the crowd and put into quarantine.
Is it OK to say that I was tired of Mexico before this even started? It's wearin' me out, man. I do not want to go to Mexico, and I also do not want the place I live turned into Mexico. I have a language and culture and heritage of my own that I rather like.
Mexico has gotten to be like the little brother you get stuck with for the day -- you can't have any fun because you have to watch him -- and, on top of it, it's not even your own brother. I am tired of buying it ice cream and being nice, and I don't want its sniffles, either.
Oh, yes, I am sick. It's obviously important to our policy-makers that I be sick.
Don't know if it's just that changing-weather kind of cold from the soaking I took the other day, or the start of something worse.
It doesn't matter anyway, because --
NO VIRUS EES ILLEGAL!
Mexico faces criticism over swine flu response
By NIKO PRICE, Associated Press Writer – 2 mins ago
MEXICO CITY – Two weeks after the first known swine flu death, Mexico still hasn't given medicine to the families of the dead. It hasn't determined where the outbreak began or how it spread. And while the government urges anyone who feels sick to go to hospitals, feverish people complain ambulance workers are scared to pick them up.
A portrait is emerging of a slow and confused response by Mexico to the gathering swine flu epidemic. And that could mean the world is flying blind into a global health storm.
Despite an annual budget of more than $5 billion, Mexico's health secretary said Monday that his agency hasn't had the resources to visit the families of the dead. That means doctors haven't begun treatment for the population most exposed to swine flu, and most apt to spread it...

Give yourself a break, twinkle toes.
A virus doesn't give a shit what color you are, what language you speak, what country you came from, or what your particular political sensitivities are.
Since this epidemic has broken out in fucking Mexico, it's only common sense to avoid coming in contact with anything which has been in Mexico recently, which includes those Mexicans who've either just arrived or might have been in close physical contact with those who've just arrived.
If this developing epidemic were to have started in fucking Canada, we'd be smart to avoid coming in close physical contact with Canadians.
Playing the race card ain't gonna protect you from getting infected.
Avoiding close physical contact with anything or anyone Mexican just might.
But you go right ahead and pretend that political correctness will keep you healthy.

Cuba halts flights to Mexico as flu virus spreadsBy ANDREW O. SELSKY
The Associated Press
April 28, 2009, 3:09PM
MEXICO CITY — Cuba suspended flights to and from Mexico on Tuesday, becoming the first country to impose a travel ban, as the fast-moving swine flu strain extended its reach overseas and in the United States. World health officials in Geneva said they believed the virus appears to be establishing itself in communities and be able to produce larger outbreaks outside Mexico...

Good.
Cinco De Mayo Festival at Navy Pier CancelledChannel 7 News -- Teresa Gutierrez, of course -- is reporting that Mexicans have decided to cancel the Cinco De Mayo festivities at Navy Pier. They say that this is because "many of the performers and exhibitors come here from Mexico," and "we don't want to create an uncomfortable situation for them" -- whatever the hell that means.
I was born in this city -- it is my home. What about "creating an uncomfortable situation" for me by giving me a possibly fatal disease that originated from some kid crawling around a pig pen?
Excuse me for asking, but who handed Mexico the car keys?
The "Hispanic Civic Association" or whatever it is canceled the Navy Pier event.
If they hadn't, I can assure you that Daley would have been there in a sombrero, cutting the opening-day ribbon and grinning like a fool while the mariachis blared away. Let's get 20,000 people together for the epidemic.
Can't these clowns even decide what they ordered the ICE people to do?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/30/border-agents-airport-workers-told-wear-surgical-masks/
The Department of Homeland Security has not issued an order saying our employees cannot wear masks. The health of our employees is of utmost importance to us. And today we are issuing department-wide guidance to our workforce," DHS spokeswoman Sara Kuban told FOX News.
...
Kuban was responding to a claim made Thursday that The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Homeland Security issued a guideline banning masks because they look too intimidating. There is another story out that a white house aide had the swine flu, was sent home on a commerical jet 12 days ago, and they have yet to notify any of the passengers on that plane. He managed to infect 3 other people that they know of already.
The CPD tried to get them to cancel the immigrant March tomorrow. The organizer said it was racist and the city said that request wasn't official. They would never think of violating anyone's first amendment rights.
So first amendment trumps public health.
Marvelous.....
I heard it on WBBM 780 this afternoon but can't find the story on their website.
