It's the Chinese fault...

The year of the cow, we get Mad Cow disesae
The year of the Bird, we get the Avaian flu
This year, it;s the year of the PIG and we get swine flu
Next year is the year of the COCK......


I'm just sayin.....

Expect one of two things. Either a new strain of chicken pox, or something much worse that will take advantage of new medical technology: http://www.sowal.com/bb/politics-current-events/42111-replacement-penises.html

And 4,000 American soldiers have died in Iraq. Wish they would create ant anti-war vaccine.

A large number typically die from the flu, but swine flu is more worrisome/getting more press because it kills those who would normally survive the flu.

Good point. On the news this morning I saw where 90% of the deaths from seasonal flu were people over the age of 65. 90% of the deaths from swine flu were people under the age of 65.

If I am reading this correctly, you are saying a great number of people die of the flu annually (aprox. 36000), Seriously, thanks for the information because it shows that regardless of what we do, a great many folks die of the flu each year just as they do of many other causes. It would appear that just possibly, the Swine Flu (H1N1) crisis is a joke.

I don't find declaring a crisis a joke when 22 million of our citizens have become ill within 6 months. Let's not have a repeat of Reagans failure to take action on the AIDS epidemic until 6 yrs. passed and 20,849 Americans had died.

How many Americans typically get the regular flu each year?

P.S. How many of those 22 million have adequate health care?

Yes it is "UN FRIGGN BELIEVABLE" because I did no such thing. Once again you are seeing what you want to see.

I wouldn't not blame Ronald Reagan for the AIDS epidemic, but it is a known fact that Ronald Reagan did stand idly by with absolutely no public comment during the beginning stages of the disease when it only affected gay men, and well into it's insideous growth. In fact, he had no comment until the disease befell actor Rock Hudson.
