Participantwow, ok, behind the times, it is 340 dead. But the statement that this isnt that bad (yet) still stands.
and arraya, please dont take this as me disagreeing with you. It is something society needs to work on, and the similarity to the 1918 outbreak is chilling. But having the populace so scared that the run to the hospitals every time they sneeze isnt gonna help control a pandemic.
Plus this time we have anti-virals and they work on this bug. What scares me is when a disease that is resistant to our meds hits.

If you wanna ask how long it takes to put in new flooring in your new house, you have come to the right place. This is something you should call your doctor about.

June 17, 2009 at 4:08 PM in reply to: OT: Is Swine Flu Pandemic Warning exaggerated? And who’s really at risk? #416901ParticipantPlus I think the media is harping it alot. It is akin to the murder stats.
Crime is down sharply in the past 30 years, but REPORTING about the crime is up way more. People are safer, but feel less safe because they know more about it.
Unless the spanish flu outbreak is relived, you are far more likly to die in a car accident, or some other reality of daily life (slipping and falling, drinking too much….) than the swine flu. But that isnt a good story. We do a terrible job of dealing with the big everyday risks than we do the random scary ones.

And who’s really at risk? #417127ParticipantThe thing that has the ‘experts’ worried (other than a repeat of the spanish flu) is that it is killing young people. We have had what, 9 people die of swine flu in the USA? We usually have something like 35000 people die each year of the normal flu, seems kinda off right?
Well the problem is that the ‘normal’ flu kills or sickens the most vunerable. The very young, very old, or the very sick. This one is killing the healthy people, the 20 year olds who very rarely die of something like the flu.
