Comments on: Picture of the Day: Swine Flu Aid Heads to North Korea http://rokdrop.com/2009/12/19/picture-of-the-day-swine-flu-aid-heads-to-north-korea/ Korea From North to South Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:26:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: | Acne Treatments As http://rokdrop.com/2009/12/19/picture-of-the-day-swine-flu-aid-heads-to-north-korea/comment-page-1/#comment-379232 | Acne Treatments As Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:32:21 +0000 http://rokdrop.com/?p=18233#comment-379232 If you look at the pandemic of 1977, when H1N1 or Swine Flu re-emerged after a 20 year absence, there is no shift in age-related mortality pattern. The 1977 “pandemic” is, of course, not considered a true pandemic by experts today, for reasons that are not entierely consistent. It certainly was an antigenic shift and not an antigenic drift. As far as I have been able to follow the current events, the most significant factor seems to have been that most people, who were severely affected, were people with other medical conditions.

Its China that keeps propping North Korea up. Yes, the US and South korea as well as the UN do their share as well. But its mostly China. You are correct in that it is a cess pool of a country, however a cess pool that noone wants spilling into their back yard. Who's 'we'? Its China that keeps propping North Korea up.
