Frankly, I do not agree with the contention that a disease that can kill some shouldn't be feared by all.
You don't know you're gonna' die from it until it hits.
Near panic is called for in these cases, but counseled, of course, by appropriate prophylaxis.
Notice that this particular school has SEVERAL HUNDRED kids with this particular flu - not some other flu - and the assistant principal is near death.
It's a killer and we're not done yet.
“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.
Thanks for cheering me up at the start of my weeklong business trip overseas.
