36,000 a year in the U.S. die from the flu, and it not considered an epidemic Now, swine flu has killed a fraction of that, and the foolish are babbling like it's 1918 again.

More people die from car wrecks than from the flu.

AIDS was gonna kill us all off, and it turns out it's a fag and IV drug user disease.

I pay very little attention to any of it. I don't believe anything I read, and less of what I hear.

After 9-11, I had a woman in a store tell me than then the WTC fell, one guy on top surfed his way down on the collapsing building. I told her that was impossible, and she acted offended.

The sheeple are idiots and will believe anything. The bigger the lie, the more likely they are to believe it.

Using new and improved statistical models, CDC scientists estimate that an average of 36,000 people (up from 20,000 in previous estimates) die from influenza-related complications each year in the United States. In addition, about 11,000 people die per year from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a virus that causes upper and lower respiratory tract infections primarily in young children and older adults. The study demonstrates that most deaths caused by RSV occur in the elderly.

==================================

The Spanish flu killed between 50 to 80 million around the world in 1918, including many Americans.

That is a pandemic.

The 36,000 flu-related deaths you refer to is not.

Do you see the difference?

The stories about swine flu will disappear in a few months, just as stories about bird flu did.

I used to be a newspaper editor. I know how the media works. "If it bleeds it leads." It doesn't matter in the slightest if the story is true or not.

As I just said, the sheeple are idiots, and the bigger the lie, the more likely that are to fall for it.

================================

Naivety rules, misinformation is how it does it.

The problem is many-fold.

What we can agree on is that the threat of a pandemic coming up from Mexico (plus a whole helluva lot of other things) could be controlled if we had a border.

There are no borders in the modern world. You act as though some sort of omnipotent GOD called called "government" can save you; that idea is laughable, at best.

The spread of diseases can not be controlled by "check-points" with armed guards [with the singular exception of Israel whom brings the world to war each and every day we wake up to.]

=================================

You do realize the entire North American Continent is considered unsafe as you read this by the rest of the world, right?

China, Russia, Europe, and Asia all have restricted flight here.

Why is this?
