Swine Flu May Cause 90,000 U.S. Deaths, Report Says

Just wait, this is just the beginning, this is going to get a lot worse. Worse than both SARS and bird flu, and I'm sure we all remember how many lives were lost because of those.

On a side note, if this turns out to actually be something more than a regular influenza with a different name, wouldn't it be awesome if you could put every smart person on the planet in some sort of bunker, and just let the rest die from swine flu?

People are still dying over this? Worries about this stopped in the UK, atleast in the North West, about a month ago :\

People are worried because the virus might mutate, and there is a high chance it might in some countries, that is why we still fear this virus.

In Norway the department of health have sent out instructional folders in the mail telling the 4,7 million people that live here how to wash your hands and take precautions to prevent any chance of being exposed and exposing others.

And I see no reason why not to fear it, our families/neighbours might suffer from other diseases/health conditions that could kill them when under influence of the swine flue. I don't want any unecessary casualties just because we didn't bother to wash our hands after a trip to the shop to buy Red Bull.

Just wait, this is just the beginning, this is going to get a lot worse. Worse than both SARS and bird flu, and I'm sure we all remember how many lives were lost because of those.

It could get worse.

And to that side note of yours, smartest idea ever. Too bad I'm not on that list...
