Truth be told, the herd does need to be culled. My immune system is a champ.

Funny...people with the strongest immune systems are the ones most at risk from flu pandemics (the virus uses your immune system against you).

Strange how 80 people in Mexico died from this, but most in the US are quickly recovering.

Nothing to worry about now.

Just like in the 1918 spanish flu the warm air will stop this first wave, October will be when we get to see if this is media hyped garbage or another flu pandemic...

And the US has ever so slightly better medical care than Mexico...

Yeah, I don't think it is a fluke that there are no fatalities in the US. I think the best thing to do at this point is IF you have sypmtoms get checked right away.

One thing I have to say about ALL illnesses is people don't want to stay home from work these days - everyone is too afraid of loosing their jobs. Trust me I understand that, but I saw people coming to work with stomach bugs and worse this winter - we sent them home. But this has not happened before, people just called out.
