Well, that's real bright.
It almost sounds like they WANT everyone to get infected. Sorry to get all tinfoil-hattish, but it's such a peculiar flu (swine/avian/human) that it sounds almost manufactured.
And such an abrupt onset. Could they have manufactured it, then dispersed it? They've done it before. They did something like this in San Francisco, in the 40's or 50's. They released something into the atmosphere. (Sorry to be so vague. It was before my time. I don't even know what keywords I would use to look it up. I just remember reading about it.)
The point is, they will use this flu epidemic to impose more regulations on us, and to force us to have inoculations, as they did in 1976 (which I don't remember). From the article: "Mass vaccinations started in October, but within weeks reports started coming in of people developing Guillain-Barré syndrome, a paralyzing nerve disease, right after taking the shot. Within two months, 500 people were affected, and more than 30 died."
It is often better for people to get infected from early generations of a new disease than later mutations.
