I don't know why we keep hearing so much about this. Does any one really believe that it will be the Spanish Flu all over again? Call me paranoid, but I think this is some kind of bizarre stealth attack against Bush.

Wasn't the '68 thing the Hong Kong Flu? I don't remember it being a disaster.

I don't know that it is against Bush, more that it is a push to have all of us get flu shots every year. I heard some lady on the radio state that if we could get everyone to get a flu shot, we could eliminate flu. HA! This year's flu strain that is so bad is not even covered by the shot.
The last time I got a shot, I was fine that year. The next year, I skipped it. I got every disease that came down the pike including Mono at 42. I don't think I built up any natural immunities.
This year I got the shot and I have been sick ever since. I think we got a bad batch in this area. I did not get the shots for the girls and I'm trusting in God to keep them safe.

It's like the press thinks it's 1918 again and that most people in the US don't have heat, plumbing, or access to over the counter medicines.

Judging from the SARS threads of the past, there are lots of people who are excited by the prospect of a pandemic and are praying for one.

Okay, you're paranoid. It isn't an attack against Bush, BinLaden or Sadam Hussein aren't responsible, and it isn't the fault of the Clinton administration.

The hype about this years flu, and the early deaths, certainly do have people on edge, though.

Stay healthy.

How about Korean?
