Ok ..OK killer flu on the loose......Why isn't the innoculation free.??? Why do we every year shell out money for a shot that is only good for that year?

Because viruses are nasty little buggers who mutate and adapt and change and vaccines have to be tweaked to keep up.

dont get me wrong, but isn't the number of deaths from the common flu like 360,000 a year world wide. so to me this so call swine flu really isnt that bad


I dunno. Joe Biden called a news conference to announce he has forbidden his family members from riding on the monorail at Dutch Wonderland in case someone on it sneezes.
blah blah
IT'S ALL JUST ANOTHER "CRISIS" SO THE GOV'T CAN DISTRACT THE PEOPLE FROM ALL THE OTHER CRAP THEY ARE TRYING TO PULL TO GET MORE CONTROL.

They don't mention a Mexican connection here. If the patient wasn't around an infected person or persons, wasn't in Mexico, how did they get the swine flu? So far everyone who has it has some connection to someone, if not themselves, visiting Mexico, or having direct contact with someone who did.

I think if this was a real pandemic, we would have failed. It seems like not enough was done at first, then too much.

By the way, health authorities will tell you that the hand sanitizers "inhibit" viruses. They do NOT KILL THEM. Wash your hands good with soap and water. The sanitizers give a false sense of security.
