I still don't see the need for panic. We never keep up with the normal flu deaths. And actually, no one ever had panic before.

About 36,000 deaths per yr. in the US.

Nobody panics about that.

We really need our local community to come together and share information and discuss spread prevention.

There is a new local Swine Flu Forum/Discussion site for just that purpose:

If everyone remembers, no one cared about the virus in Legend...and look what happened to mankind. Beware the virus.
