    HOLY HELL that was THE BEST thing I have heard...

    BUT LISTEN.

    The deaths in Mexico, not even ALL are CONFIRMED deaths. Like said, their health care is different. We have known now that is is coming, people are prepared. As the government says, RIGHT NOW, it is not a cause for alarm, just wash your hands as you would if trying to not catch the regular flu.

    You all do know over 30,000 people die in the US EACH YEAR from the regular flu, and nearly 300,000 worldwide. Also we are almost out of any flu season, and they say it can't live during the summer. It can come back, yeah sure, BUT in that time a vaccine will be made.

    The ONLY thing you can do is not be stupid and go to infected places, wash your hands, cover your mouth when sneezing and all, if you are sick stay home and call the doctor, etc.

    "As I posted in another thread, this virus has mutated quickly and could very easily mutate again to become much more deadly. Already 160 dead in ole Mexico."

    Sure it can, does it mean it will become more deadly? What about NOT as deadly? Nobody knows, but I have faith we have some of the best scientist working non stop on figuring this out, and so far they are doing a good job I think. 160 dead is far from a plague type thing that everyone is so scared of. That's not even as much as the regular flu can kill. PLUS many of the confirmed deaths the patients waited too long for any treatment, once a bad state of pneumonia sets in you are in trouble no matter what strain of a virus you have.
