Around 36,000 Americans are killed a year by the various usual flu strains, IIRC.

From the article:

“The memo from McGaw, who is DHS’ acting assistant secretary for the private sector, also said: “U.S. Customs and Coast Guard Officers assist in the enforcement of quarantine orders. Other DOJ law enforcement agencies including the U.S. Marshals, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives may also enforce quarantines. Military personnel are not authorized to engage in enforcement.”

“Around 36,000 Americans are killed a year by the various usual flu strains, IIRC.”

That’s also what I’ve read. Information was collected from 1990-1991 through 1998-1999 IIRC.

Many have died in Mexico according to Media reports, as well this latest report from Texas that could also yet be linked to a Mexican family, we don’t know. Regardless of whom, or where prayers for the family as well all the people of the World effected by this malady.

Some points that disturb me: It seems to me the Leftist Media is jumping with joy there is another catastrophe for them to roll up their sleeves and persue with creative camera angles as they do in the event of even the smallest of rainstorms in Southern California. It’s amazing how a camera can make flowing rainwater in a gutter appear at flood stage.

There seems a groundswell of jubilation by the Left at the potential of economic suffering by the Swine Industry, thus another potential economic setback for America. Another economic crisis if you will. The Left loves America to have economic (read Capitalistic) distress.
