Never forget that there are too many humans on the planet and mother nature shall not tollerate over population. The swine flu may come to nothing, but eventually there will be something in our future that will cull a lot of people from the herd.

Well, let's see. Flu is caused by a virus, not a bacteria, so antibiotics can't cure flu. Yes, most flu deaths are related to secondary infection, and I certainly hope that antibiotics will make a difference. But that's not a given.
