“a disease that can kill some shouldn’t be feared by all.”

Pretty much ALL diseases can kill.

Including ALL influezas and various things we take for granted nowadays as no big deal.

Without the huge advances we’ve had in OUR medical industry (no thanks to communists who want to make it all “cheap”), we’d understand how every disease is a big deal underneath, and how spoiled we are.

I don’t believe this swine flu is any worse than any other. Still, no-one has explained to me WHY we should be so scared.

BTW, they (public health folks) are getting a better grasp of how bad this swine flu is. They are placing it somewhere between the 1918 and the 1957 flu ~ and that’s pretty bad.

Actually swine flu does not appear to be as bad as the usual influenza. We see a good number of people every year hospitalized with the flu and its sequela, we have had only one hospitalized with swine flu at our institution, and that was very early one when everyone was so nervous about it.
