Well, if I'm not wrong, which I'm sure I am, a thousand people have been killed in the US already.

If you compare it to the Spanish Flu of 1918, it's nothing, but odds are, with flu mutating as fast as rabbits reproduce, you can't be too sure.

Yet.

Why everyone is worked up about this. One, every flu kills people. Two, there are THOUSANDS of different typs of the flu. Three, I had it and it was the exact same thing as the flu, low grade temp, runny nose, a small cough and a slight headache. It's not a pandemic or a disaster, it's the flu.

Well I really don't think it's so bad. But if it does mutate then we should be worried about it.

How the hell can a virus be a money-making project.  It's not like the government created it.

And the Canadian government is giving out the vaccine for free.  The reason why is because it's a hell of a lot cheaper than Canada's medical plan paying $1000 a night or more for someone to stay in the hospital.

No but a private company is making it, they have a 233 million dollar deal with the Canadian government to make it(don't quote me on this, I read it a week ago or so and I might have forgot it a bit).
