    Media Sensationalism; that's how it usually goes. Overblown scare stories, and then it's just gone and on to the next non-story.

          So a few people died of the flu. Sounds like every other year.

            Real Question is, what was really going on while they were trying to distract us with the Swine Flu.

            Hows that Anthrax coming along? Oh I guess the evil scientist that was doing that just got bored and decided to stop.

            The list goes on and on.

                Indeed. The 1918 Spanish Flu actually originated as mild strain somewhat similar to this, but died by early summer. Then it came back by winter and ended up killing 50-100 million people.

                Of course, I doubt that this virus will do that and I'm not going to worry about it. What will happen will happen. There's a lot more important things that are actually worth being concerned about that are going on in the world right now.

                  There is reason for some concern as countries in the southern hemisphere begin facing their winters. The strain could mutate during the cold and when the northern folks get their winter, the flu might be stronger than it was this past few weeks.

                  I doubt anything could wipe out a great number of people so quickly in today's world. Information spreads fast so people will isolate themselves and modern medicine will find ways to stretch the affects so that chances of survival are increased as vaccinations are developed.
                  "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                    Me too. The first day I watched CNN for like 4 hours while going about my business. Did it even reach Pandemic level 6? And also, wait until winter. More people are going to die, and it is definately worth it to take 20 seconds out of your life to wash your hands and cover your coughs.

                      A cop from a nearby city just passed away. It is a national pandemic and should be taken seriously.

                        It's not as bad as the regular flu. 40 people in my area had it and they're all ok, as far as I know...

                            It's still a pretty big story here especially in Ontario where there's been a lot of cases. It's about the 4th or 5th news item on the national news.
