>>You are correct. It is too early to know which way the flu will go. Just keep washing your hands and don't touch your face even if you get one of those teeny itchy spots on your upper lip, cheek or nose. I also think that over population, creating increasing demand for heat, power and transportation, is a significant contributer to the global warming phenominon.

Actually, I'm delighted that they're taking it seriously. I've read about the 1918 epidemic and one of the factors in the large number of deaths was how slowly it was recognized as a big deal. (There were plenty of other factors, but there was a lot of denial at first.) Maybe this isn't the big deal epidemic, but a couple of things they're saying make me think it might be, especially that the ones who are dying aren't the old and the sick, but young, formerly healthy people. That's what happened in 1918.
