An outbreak of flu would slow global warming. That is, unless they have to burn the bodies in vast quantities.

Where did this come from? Flu season is over.

They just keep recycling the list of things to scare you:

Ozone Depletion
Toxic Mold
Radon Gas
Trans Fats
Global Warming
Monster under the bed
Monster in the closet

"force 87.75 million people to miss work for three weeks
That could cause the U.S. gross domestic product to drop more than 5.5 percent,"

At about the time the Medieval Warm Period ended, the black plague was spawned. As the little ice age progressed the plague got worse. Hypothesis ... we should avoid ice ages at all cost.

A clear case for global warming and excess CO2 emissions :^)
