No one in my family did either and none of us have been seriously sick. I know one person whose son had the swine flu and though his whole family had antibodies none even got the sniffles. We really have to be careful because the threat of pandemic could easily be used to control a population in politically inconvenient times.
You are correct. This time it was just a financial shake down of the American people, but it's very possible that round ups and quarantines could be down the road. Never underestimate a fascist like Obama and his Chicago gang.
