Interesting that the regular flu kills thousands each year, but we're not all panicking over that.

Absolutely! Another case of media fear-mongering for ratings.

I read that 16,000 people have died in the US so far this year, with 36,000 expected to pop off over a year. World-wide it seems between 250,000 to 500,000 will succumb to regular flu.

That 16,000 is more than 5 times the 9/11 toll and 3 times the Iraq death toll.

Why is that not news? and why is no-one doing anything about it.

That body-length condom is starting to look mighty attractive...
