Seems the Swine Flu is doing a Terminator. On CNN they expect 90,000 serious ilnesses in the US alone. I personally am getting scared again. In the spring it was nothing, but now, during Flu season, its gonna be serious. Hopefully the vaccinations can help us.

I meant that 90,000 people that the article predicts could die is 3% of the population of the United States, which is roughly 300 million.

Swine flu is just another bad strain of flu- we get them every few years. However, our bodies have never seen this flu before which is why it's worse... Although the media is definitely making it seem like its worse.

I've had a weak strain of the swine flu, apparently, because they say in New Zealand regular flu isn't circulating at the moment and since I had a flu a few weeks ago it means I probably had the Swine flue variety. It wasn't pleasent, sure, but after a couple of days in bed with a pounding headache it ending up feeling more like a moderate cold...]]> http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/40830/1297086.page http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/preList/40830/1297086.page GMT

In the end intelligence has its drawbacks. The native Americans were very respectful to the Earth, they didn't get too far into tech, though the Aztecs, Maya, Inca, and Olmec did some pretty amazing things. Europe people wasted resources and tried to find out ways to kick each others butt. In the end they had superior technology. From destroying their environment they found out new ways of doing everyday things. If we survive to see it, we will eventually leave earth, and move to another terrestrial planet, like maybe the moon of Osiris (THOUGH I highly doubt it due to its crazy seasons)

Something of which we are not to certain of after the endicaranian wiped out much of the first ambulatory life forms.

Something else we don't know of from the Cambrian to the Ordovician.

Gamma ray bursts during the Ordovician. A Major extinction event.

Anoxia and a runaway greenhouse during the end of the devonian. Think of it as a prototype for the permian event. A Major Extinction event.

The Worst of them all, the Permian Triassic extinction even, that may have been caused by either a meteor even larger than the cretaceous asteroid or a magma plume, raising the earth's temperature by an ungodly amount, combined with anoxia, a sharp drop in oxygen levels, vast increases in hydrogen sulfide levels, amongst other things. A major extinction event.

The Triassic extinction event, most likely caused by a large meteor, ended the reign of the crocodillians.

The C-T extinction event, which was largely caused by a meteor, major extinction event.

And the comparatively wussy holocene extinction event. Which is so badly dwarfed by the other four major extinction events that it's really not all that great. A Major extinction event.

Parrots and crows are smart little SPORE's. Also sentient means self-awareness, almost all animals with a nervous system have this, sapience is deeper thought.

Seems the Swine Flu is doing a Terminator. On CNN they expect 90,000 serious ilnesses in the US alone. I personally am getting scared again. In the spring it was nothing, but now, during Flu season, its gonna be serious. Hopefully the vaccinations can help us. Any opinions or other info on this?[/quote]
