I've been hearing that too. However, I would also point out that the symptoms of this aren't very much different from the symptoms of the normal flu yet the existence of this new strain has only been widely known for about a week now. This means that it is not at all unlikely that this thing started off relatively weak in Mexico before gaining strength and causing fatalities. Who's to say that people in Mexico weren't getting sick with this strain a month ago - before it got stronger - recovered, and assumed that they just had the ordinary flu?
Just because it's effects have been relatively mild outside of Mexico doesn't mean that it will remain that way. This thing is global now and new cases are being reported at a pretty fast rate. I don't see how the severity of a disease will remain so drastically different from one country to the next. I for one am starting to take this very seriously.
“I for one am starting to take this very seriously.”
Me too. Read the post above..#8
I made a pot of coffee so I could stay up and catch up on the news of this stuff because I have not taken it as seriously as I should have this past week. I will probably be up for quite awhile now.
I don’t trust Obama and his band of thugs to protect this country. We are all going to be on our own.
