its all just a way to scare people into spending billions of dollars on tamiflu. very few people have died from swine flu, and those were people already sick or with compramised immune systems. its all a big hoax. i wouldnt be surprised if swine flu did come out of a US labratory accidently/on purpose...

Well, just so you know, those opinions are wrong and dubious. More than a few of the people that have died have been under the age of 30 and otherwise in good health. Read the statistics at WHO and CDC websites.
Second - the real potential of this influenza strain is not yet known. Come this fall when flu season hits the Northern Hemisphere, health officials will have a better idea if this is a real threat, or just another strain of flu that causes typical morbidity and mortality.
Third - no, it did not come "out of a lab". It's the product of very normal influezna antigenic shift and drift. The entire genonme has been sequenced and published.

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Leo

If you ask someone to give you a hand today, don't be surprised if they make a mess of it. That's probably because their mind isn't on the job, but it might also be because your instructions aren't as clear as usual. So before you get angry, check that what you said made sense. Relations with someone older or more influential than you could also be blighted by confusion or doubt now.
