Here comes the panic. THe media LOVE to hype all of this up so everyone will RUN to the doctor to get shots that are NOT for this particular strain anyway.

Don't forget most if not all of those that die from the flu are the folks with immune system issues anyway - and the old and very young.

Just keep washing your grubby hands and you'll be fine!

Influenza is viral, not bacterial.

Influenza is viral, not bacterial.

If you read the 1942 study it found that PG is also effective against influenza. Not sure what the mechanism is...

Zinc gluconate and PG and we should all be invincible !!

Maybe if we could ADD ZG to our PG we would be OK...

Kool-less Ken, Read a little further in the link and you will see that the tests were done with rats and the flu virus.

Agree, does kind of sound like 'laboratory-made'. Not many european or asian swine that fly to the mexican gulf for the winter-season.

 

[OutWest]

maybe an asian farmer who raises chicken and pigs went to mexico on holiday?

 

[seminolewind]

Gluconate, Glycol, glycerin, the reason they work is the high sugar content that sucks the water out of bacteria, and they die. Not sure about viruses.

 

[MonkeyMonk]

Going to buy more PG. Hey, where did Walrus get that gallon sized PG?

Haha, yep, you have a good point there; that's possible too

Well apparently they're vaccinating already - with what I dunno but apparently any old vaccine will do in a pinch. (sell those left-overs)

I'm vaccinating my Cigar carts.....

Can anyone make us a vaping smiley?

 

[taz3cat]

Need to buy a personal portable fog machine and vape a lot or stay home and vape a lot. Hey, lets just vape a lot.

 

[ChainSmkr]

Ummm, yeah. PG is the answer that has flown right over the WHO's head.
