Zombism Outbreak in London due to Swine Flu

There has been a small outbreak of "zombism" in London due to mutation of the H1N1 virus into new strain: H1Z1.

Similar to a scare originally found in Cambodia back in 2005, victims of a new strain of the swine flu virus H1N1 have been reported in London.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it's victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during "resurrection."

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the alert to phase six, its highest level, and advised governments to activate pandemic contingency plans.

In Mexico, the epicentre of the outbreak, President Felipe Calderon urged people to stay at home over the next five days.

CONFIRMED CASES
Map
Mexico: 168 suspected deaths - eight confirmed - 12 zombies
US: one death, at least 91 confirmed cases
New Zealand: 13 confirmed cases
Canada: 19 confirmed cases
UK: 5 confirmed cases
Spain: 10 confirmed cases
Germany: 3 confirmed cases
Israel, Costa Rica: 2 confirmed cases each
The Netherland, Switzerland, Austria, Peru: 1 confirmed case each

There are many cases elsewhere - including the US, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Israel, and New Zealand.

BBC health correspondent Mark McGrith says the raising of the WHO alert on Wednesday suggests a global epidemic, or pandemic, is imminent.

In the latest developments:

  • The Netherlands confirms its first case of zombie swine flu, in a three-year-old boy recently returned from Mexico. After passing away early this morning, he rose from the dead and lunged at his mother.
  • Ghana has become the latest country to ban pork imports as a precaution against swine flu, though no cases have been found in the West African country
  • China's health minister says that the country's scientists have developed a "sensitive and fast" test for spotting swine flu in conjunction with US scientists and the WHO. The country has recorded no incidence of the flu yet. There methods, however, have been uneffective in spotting the H1Z1 strain.

At the meeting of health ministers in Luxembourg, a French proposal for a continent-wide travel advisory for Mexico will be discussed.

SYMPTOMS - WHAT TO DO
Swine flu symptoms are similar to those produced by ordinary seasonal flu - fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, chills and fatigue
If you have flu symptoms and recently visited affected areas of Mexico, you should seek medical advice
If you suspect you are infected, you should stay at home and take advice by telephone initially, in order to minimise the risk of infection
If you feel yourself passing away, then notice your strength and vigor returning at an alarming rate, please attempt to restrain yourself to prevent infection and harm to others.

It is unclear whether the EU executive has the power to impose a travel ban.

Several countries have restricted travel to Mexico and many tour operators have cancelled holidays.

Other members are resisting calls to implement travel bans or close borders, on the grounds - backed by the WHO - that there is little evidence of their efficacy.

The EU ministers will also try to agree on how to refer to the new virus.

The European Commission has been calling it "novel flu", replacing the word "swine" to avoid prompting a fall in demand for pork and bacon.

On Wednesday, Egypt began a mass slaughter of its pigs - even though the WHO says the virus was now being transmitted from human to human.

Okay, you're gonna love this....My sister texted me about this a few hours ago.  She is so afraid the allergies my nephew has are going to (magically) turn into swine flu and he will die because he already has issues with his heart.  I can't believe we have the same parents sometimes.

In my life I have discovered you can learn about someone completely, if you just take the time to inject them with a little sodium pentathol.

It is.I found another acrticle about something similar.



Outbreak of Zombism in Cambodia

Peter Cushing returns from the grave in Although this story was as fake as can be, it did have all of the elements of a real mind fuck.
It had a bizarre disease found in a remote part of a third world country spread by indigenous mosquitoes carrying a variation of a deadly virus.
I mean hell, had this story said that this "mysterious strand of Malaria" was discovered in the Sudan instead of Cambodia, it may never have been discovered to been a fake.
In case you hadn’t heard of this story entitled Cambodian Troops Quarantine Quan'sul it was reported across the Internet on literally thousands of web sites that there had been an outbreak of zombism reported in Cambodia.
Zombism? What is that?
Well it was being reported on thousands of web sites quoting this false story that there was a new strain of Malaria being carried by mosquitoes native to the region, which was batting a .1000 with an 100 percent mortality rate, killing its victims in fewer than 2 days.
But this is when the fun starts.
After the victim dies however, the virus seemed to “restart” the victim’s heart and for the next two hours or so the victim behaves in “extremely violent ways” which doctors are contributing to a combination of brain damage and some chemical that is released into the blood by this particular strand of Malaria.
Here was the kicker.
The article claimed that Cambodia wanted to contain the virus and study it to “increase the quality of life for all.”
See that was the most believable part. You would think that it would be the rare strain of Malaria. Not to me. The most believable part was that someone would find this disease and try to use it to jump start their biological weapons program.
The article quoted General Ary Serey as saying that "We have obtained samples of this new virus and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all."
The article claimed that the UN took notice of that quote and was apparently sending people into Cambodia to see if Cambodia even has facilities that are secure enough to safely perform this kind of biological research.
The article also claimed that when Condoleezza Rice heard the story she basically said they should destroy it immediately.
You can laugh now and say that it sounds stupid but that is just because you know it is bullshit. Had this zombie article been on the BBC or CNN and not on some spoof site made out to look like the BBC you would be the first in line at the Fox news studios petitioning to deport every Asian in your neighborhood, fire bombing every Chinese restaurant, and tipping over every Toyota or Honda import you could find.
Like I have said before, I might be a cynic but that’s only because I know you.

Quoting Peytonsmom6308:
