A big deep breath......



Its interesting to note that downunder....1700 - 2000 people die each year of the common flu...........and around 3000 killed on the roads.
Not to mention AIDS and Hep A + B + C

And thats just Oz.........[population 19 m......work the ratio out for the USA with 280M...UK 65M...China 1.4 B....and India 1.2 B.]

Why has the WHO got so focused on a problem that has killed less than 200 worldwide......???

Perhaps someone wants more funding.......or perhaps it is serious.....not sure.
