Bammy and his minions would love to get a hold of this virus and spread it here. An argument for National Health Care.

Captain Trips is alive and well and living in the Ukraine!

Is that Randall Flagg I hear?
"The wind had picked up again, it made strange hooting sound in some empty doorway, and farther away he thought he could hear bootheels pacing off the night, rundown bootheels somewhere in the foothills coming to him on the chilly draft of this early morning breeze. Dirty bootheels clocking their way into the grave of the West."

To the people of the Ukraine on behalf of Randall Flagg I Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin send you greetings!

re: death toll has reached 189 and more than 1 million people have been infected

Huh? 189 deaths out of more than a million who’ve gotten the virus? That seems a very small death toll. What am I missing?

[dawn53]

If you do the math, the death toll is extremely low, .0189%

[ModelBreaker]

189 in a million would be a death rate of about of one in five hundred or 0.2%. Is that high for a normal flu?

I’m very suspicious of this story as it seems to have been flogged by a Ukrainian premier that is running behind in the polls.

If this virus is so bad, why has WHO stated it’s no different than the H1N1 virus?

Let’s be sure we don’t spread rumors. There are plenty of reasons why the H1N1 virus is apparently hitting the Ukraine harder than anybody else: bad health administration bad government, political intrigue. The last thing we need to do is spread panic.

Well it’s so bad that they are thinking of cancelling elections! WoW! Imagine that?

I’m rather sick of the ‘panic and hysteria’ propaganda lately.
