re: #24 The_Vig

Am I the only one who thinks all of this swine flu pandemic thing is way overblown. How many times will people cry pandemic, before no one cares.
100 people have died in a third world county and they want to declare a pandemic. Wake me when millions are dying. Or have I just become overly cynical?

It could go either way. The problem is that once we know for sure, it could be too late. Check out how quickly the Spanish flu spread across the U.S. back in 1918, before jet travel and interstate highways:
