So...1.8% of people died from the Swine Flu.

Sounds a lot like the death rate from seasonal flu.

Yet people must be FRIGHTENED by our government today. It's a PANDEMIC!!! Run! Buy duct tape and plastic sheeting!

Flu has been killing people since creation started. There are fewer deaths from it now than ever before. When people die it is because their time is up.

Its insane. What is going on? Jeez folks - the gov has you running scared about everything.

[dont snow me]

Absolute poppycock. How come i don't know one person who has had it?

I had it and it is less of a hassle than the "normal" flu. For some reason the government seems to want to hipe this flu up, and cause fear. Maybe some in power have stock in the company's that manufacture the vaccine, I don't know. States that are passing laws that could force mandatory injections are crazy, for this flu. I would not receive it well, if someone came to my house to force something like that on me.

Do some research on who owns stock in Tamiflu and there's your answer.

Stimulating the economy for auto makers, doctors and pharmacy companies so far. I can't afford my regular medication so anything more I will just have to die. It's okay because I don't care anymore.
