Does the swine flu prove Darwinism?
Also why do humans manifest intrinsic ideals to waste resources in protecting the weak with such notions of fear?
Take for example this article
Crime & Federalism: Swin Flu Could Become: Pademic: Prepare for Swine Flu
"When hordes of zombies are infected, what will you do?" <--- Please feel free to answer this question honestly!!!
Does fear really motivate a people into doing things instinctively with out thinking? |

No. Other than the fact that Darwinism really isn't a theory that needs to be proven, a small flu flare-up doesn't really have much to do with the ponderance of inherited traits and their determining factors so far as survival trends are concerned. You could likely make a great case that influenza mutates (evolves) to become a more efficient organism - much to our dismay - but that's not really "proof of Darwinism" per se.

I doubt Johnson & Johnson sees this as a waste of resources.
Fear is an instinct of sorts. And there are instances each and every day where it is a beneficial factor in our continued survival, as well as the tool of individuals to gain from others.

Well fear can definitely be a motivational factor in a lot of things that people do, or even the things they don't do. And I suppose it'd be right to say that fear often causes people to a lot of things without thinking them through, yes. But fear is ever-present in people's lives - if you're making a case for this particular scenario, I think a more interesting question would be: does fear cause people to imagine they are ill? Or perhaps, does fear in fact increase somebody's susceptibility to a given illness? I think the answers to these questions would quell a lot of the questionability of how "pandemics" are approached by the media as well as authorities, assuming they have any control over the flow of information whatsoever. |

| In Germany about 20000 people die every year from the 'normal' influenza. The swine flu so far has killed not even a dozen. I'm not saying it's harmless, but this media hysteria is just retarded. |

As the psyche of the humanity becomes quenched with the notions that swine flu is metaphoric of the previous 1918 'Spanish Flu;' the psyche then is a shared experience between everyone across the globe.
The Collective Unconsciousness is taking notes on all of this.
For anyone who doesn't know the 'Collective Unconsciousness' is a part of the unconscious mind, shared by a society, a people, or all humanity, that is the product of ancestral experience and contains such concepts as science, religion, and morality.
So Halcyon+On+On;
Humanity right now is being quenched with fear that the 'Swine Flu,' is acting like the 1918 'Spanish Flu.' This in turn gives rise to the collective unconsciousness taking notes on people saying you might have the flu; you might have the flu; eventually just accepting the idea. Persuasive powers are persuasive.
Where by going into the medical doctors office to get checked for swine flu is more likely to take place than if the people on the syndicated news media outlets were saying, "You'll Love my Nuts."~ShamWOW!

The WHO is now saying this strain is very mild and probably not anymore serious than the seasonal flu.
Now that we've got our pandemic scare out of the way for the year... |

I think heat (temperature) may be a contributing factor - as dehdration, and a higher basal body temp may make it easier for dehydration weekness, effects of dehydration and higher than normal body temp as the ability to cool the body shuts down. If you look at effects of influenza in general based on climatological factors you should see some similar trends.. eg. spanish flu. |
What? I believe you dont know what you are talking about.:rolleyes: |
