Hi I was wondering if everything is still scheduled for the Predator 10 Ball and BCA 8 Ball championships with regards to the swine flu situation. I am planning to go and I was wondering if anyone heard anything.
Obviously you have not been reading the news about the flu in the US. I am just wondering if everything is still taking place that all no need for the sarcastic remarks watchez.

I am sorry if I came across that way. I am not trying to start a rumor or cause any trouble I am merely inquiring to see if it is affecting the tournament that's all. This is a vacation trip for me and I am really looking forward to the tournament and I would not like anything to mess it up. So again I am sorry if it came across that way Mr Watchez and I am not trying to start any rumors.

Before you get in an uproar and mislead people in not attending these events, try taking 3 minutes out of your day and read an article such as this for example.
The public is driven by irrational fears. They didn't go to medical school," says Shorter. "They're responding to an abdication of leadership by political leaders."
This quote from the article definitely fits her
That guy in the article leaves out some important information. 1. This has materialized in different parts of the world simultaneously, indicating it's ability to spread. 2. This scares them the most. The figure of the number of people who die each year is true but they are almost all old people or children and babies. The ones who are dead from this flu were robust healthy people who should not be killed by the flu. This indicates that if this thing got going it would really kill. A flu outbreak killed 40, 000,000 in the early part of the last century. With the way and ease we travel today, a similar outbreak could kill ten or twenty times that number. These people spend their lives studying this stuff and it scares them. They know it is not "if" but "when". This flu has already shown it can not be isolated, it is already spreading world wide. There is also no possibility to effectively inoculate against it. The only way to stop it is to limit it's hosts and ability to spread so it can just fade out. Places like Vegas where you have people coming from all over the world and mingling is the perfect way to really help it spread. Staying away from such places is really the only way to combat it. The spreading has to be stopped. Like it or not, those are the facts.
Where do you get your fact that the swine flu can kill 400 to 800 million people and that Vegas will be the epicenter of this destruction of more people than currently live in the USA?
And I am glad that you referenced this to a health issue that occurred 120 years ago. If we lived in the world 120 years ago, I would already be dead which would make some posters here happy. But with modern medicine I am still alive and kicking.

I just checked the latest stats on MSN. There are 50 confirmed cases in the US as of this time. There are 306 million people in the US. Odds of you getting the flu are 306,000,000/50 or about 6 million to 1. Enjoy the tournament and stopping worrying about things you have no control over.
Thank you for the Amen. As for Mike, I talked to him about a week or 2 ago. He said he would be there for the tournament. I am looking forward to watching him and the other pros play. I am also looking forward to having him watch me play in the Seniors tournament. I am also looking forward to seeing you and other AZB friends there.Amen Mr. Davis! See you in Vegas! I was just watching your son play in FL this past weekend! I'm sure he'll be there too!
