It may be more serious than we thought.

I remember a few years ago when a pandemic of the bird flu was considered "imminent". And we all know how that turned out. 36,000 people a year die of the regular flu, and people are panicking now because a handful of people have croaked from this thing. Pish posh.

Best way to solve this thing: Turn off the Big Three television news scumbags, DirecTV customers can easily just delete channels 202, 204, 356 and 360.

Thank you! I was going to bust out with that same stat but you beat me to it.

Not to diminish those who have died, but honestly, the media is doing their best to scare the heck out of everyone. The greater threat is the chaos that can be caused if people start to freak and buy up all the water in the grocery store...panic spreads faster than viruses these days...

No it's called without drama or a threat in our society, the news has nothing to report. It's in their best interests to make us worry about this hog.....wash....


People who are worried about this are just silly..
