Uhh being paranoid causes people to stop spending
Haven't you noticed every article about the financial impact of swine flu was concerning how much it would negatively impact the markets?

Get outta here with that shit. I've never heard of the flu that causes ppl to stop spending.
This shit isn't even a pandemic they are over exaggerating the shit like I stated just so ppl go out and buy their face shields, hand sanitizer, lysol spray, and all that other shit that isn't necessary to make it through a regular day.
Wow a few hundred ppl have the flu, I've heard this story multiples times in the past couple years with different names. Like I said every year they think up something new to try and scare ppl to get all the protection they can before the "whatever flu" hits your area.
:dead:
OK try this then;
Google "swine flu economic impact" or "bird flu economic impact" or "SARS economic impact"
and then see if the economic impact they are talking about is positive or negative.
Even a huge increase in buying masks, hand sanitizer, going to the doctor, etc is not going to even come close to negating the impact of people staying home, reduced spending on normal items, not going to work, and canceling travel plans.
I mean look what 9/11 did to economic activity and that was an isolated event.
9/11 destroyed multiple buildings and killed thousands, swine flu hasn't done shit compared to 9/11. this is just the flu. Ppl are throwing up and shitting big deal. The old ppl and the lil kids are always dieing when the flu hits, so I don't see why ppl feel this one is any different.
Wow it can mutate, big deal viruses are always mutating that's why a person gets the common cold multiple times throughout their life because it is always changing.
If the swine flu has you afraid to leave your house you are a fucking moron. (This statement is directed at the entire world so don't get offended Mr. Nice Guy)
