Over 3000 people have died of regular old flu since January.

Also a Fark submitter stole my The Who joke.

Even though that kid died really close to here, I doubt there will be much more losses. This DOES seem like it's just a slightly more potent flu.

That's essentially what it is - it's a flu that spreads quicker. However, this makes it a health risk, but not something to go nuts about.

Uh, Spread Quicker? Not really. It's just different, with potentially more harmful symptoms. It won't spread any quicker, and should spread slower as it appears that human to human transmission hasn't been completely realized in the virus. The people most at risk are those with already compromised immune systems, just as with regular flu.

Ugh, lame.  I think I have it.  I have that pseudo-nauseous coughing feeling, my nose is running, and it feels colder in here than it really is.

Yeap, I agree. You lads shouldn't worry that much.

Well Lassie errrm Cthulhu you were a good dog errm forum member, but we gotta think of ourselves in these times.

If the spar of a fast-moving boat can't kill me, a gunshot can't.

Yet a virus can?

Or were you shagging a pig?

Conspiracy theory:

Left 4 Dead occurs in October 2009. According to my knowledge of zombies, the virus is often a perfectly normal pandemic when it SUDDENLY EVOLVES OH GOD and everyone turns into a flesh-eating monster.
Unless they're in goddamn Madagascar.

I wish you guys would start reading my posts.

This.

I have, &.  Frankly, I don't see what all the bother is.  It really doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as most everything else I've heard of (at least, that people actually die from).

[Ampersand]

Apparently, you didn't, Lego. Over 30,000 people die of the regular old flu worldwide in a given season. 3000 of those in America. This Flu has demonstrated that it is less deadly than the known viruses.

That's what I said.

Just a question:
Don't those surgical mouth masks people wear, like the Chinese did during the SARS thing, do nothing? I could have sworn they were to keep the germs on the doctor's breath from getting on the patient, not the other way around. They're becoming fashionable where I am.
