Flu, the normal [is there a norm?] kills approx 38,000 USA citizens each year, so I have been told.
Only Mexicans have died so far from this Media Hyped Pig Flu strain. The Texan death was a Mexican child of barely 24 months......
Shouldn't we be alarmed about our regular flu brand, which is killing so many more of us than a flu that happens to be able to be mentioned alongside Spanish Flu of the 1919, when there were no drugs/vaccines available and the World War had weakened the entire planet's human population.
If no one other than Mexicans has died yet isn't it likely that the flu is weakening and once again we have a similar situation to Bird Flu, SARS, BSE - overhyped and under performed [in the killing stakes].
