3 Palestinians Die Of Swine Flu
2012-12-21
More than 40 Paleostinians hospitalized after having contracted H1N1 virus, Paleostinian Authority reports
Soon to be seen in Egypt, no doubt, along with other diseases of a collapsing society. Get all your shots and wash your hands often, O Israelis!
Reports in the Paleostinian Authority said that a pregnant woman died of swine flu on Thursday.

Three Paleostinians have died of the H1N1 virus and over 40 were hospitalized after having contracted the flu since the beginning of the winter, PA officials said.

Paleostinian Health Ministry front man Tarif Ashur said that the majority of the patients have been discharged.

Health Ministry official Dr. Asad Ramlawi stressed that Paleostinian health officials are experienced in diagnosing and treating the condition. He added that the Health Ministry has a sufficient amount of medicine including the Tamiflu antiviral drug to treat the virus.

Anyone who contracted the virus is exempt of paying medical insurance, Ramlawi added.

#6  The Juices know that pigs are much too valuable to eat, some of the happiest hogs in the world are raised to supply heart valves, or so I'm told.

#4  A couple of years ago there was an outbreak of swine flu in Israel, of all places. It was along the border with Syria. Followups with the CDC placed the vector in Alawite swineherds, which I would've thought was a contradiction, but evidently not.

#3  A while back, in Egypt, they killed all the pigs to prevent swine flu. Unfortunately, the pigs had played a major role in getting rid of garbage. With the pigs gone, the garbage built up, leading to more problems.

#2  There aren't too many pigs in Paleoland, which indicates person to person transmission.
