The usual strains of flu kill over 30,000 Americans every year. I don’t think the docs have any reliable mortality stats on this one yet.

According to a Biotech Research Dr we know, the current flu shot does offer some protection from severity of this flu.
This is someone who is currently researching in the field..so we were encouraged by that news.
Also..bet the Zero and the big Rats have already received tamiflu injections..just in case.

Well, with 68 confirmed, and 4 probable deaths, and a few more coming in...that matches the 4-8% seen in conflicting reports from Mexico.
I'm 37, and my loved ones in their 30s....we are not taking that chance.....
....and I DO NOT TRUST THIS GOVERNMENT.

Bingo. Most the hype is MSM driven due to the virus arriving in a nontraditional month. Caution is warranted but panic serves no one. On a side note the speculative pharma stocks are very active

This one seems to be killing people in the prime of life - not just the elderly and very young.
