What’s the formula they use to get 100,000?

If people really don’t have it; let’s put it in their minds they do.

While the official tally of confirmed U.S. swine flu cases topped 4,700 on Friday, experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now estimate the true number of infections at more than 100,000 nationwide.

Well, estimations are close anyway...

Money well spent. /s

Let’s survey how many people know that the swine flu is a load of recycled crap from the 1970s. It was a scam then and it’s a scam now, just like the bird flu and SARS.

And all 100,000 infected are gun-owning Conservatives who need to be quarantined...

Some how this hysteria over H1N1 “swine flu” simply does not pass the smell test.

Yes, there have been deaths, but it is not yet an epidemic.

I was in Amarillo about a week ago and the reported numerous cases, which later were discovered to be another type of common flu.

I also remember the hysteria that the “big toothed” Pres. Carter tried to promote over swine flu. There was not a single U.S. case.

This time the cases that have been documented seem to be from contact in Mexico.

This is not a global epidemic.

Geese Louise, they just can’t help themselves. This kind of fictional reporting must be an addiction.

Totally misleading headline ...the quote is 100,000 “influenze-like” symptoms and was a totally off the cuff remark by one3 individual

far more deaths from the “normal” flu have happened.

I call Bravo Sierra on the title at least-scare mongering gone wild.

Thanks for finding this. I told my b/f (who is in Chicago) that Illinois had a ton of cases, and he didn’t believe me.

They have more than everyone else!

I call BS.

Anyone on this thread had a confirmed case of Swine Flu?

Know anybody that has?

I have friends all over the US. None of them have had the flu. And none of them know of any cases.

The CDC is using this as a money pit. Blown it all out of proportion.

Is this a bad thing? There have not been a lot of “healthy people” deaths so it seems like we will have a whole lot of people with immunity.
