They are now saying that this bug will affect over 1/2 of the US and thousands will die, mostly babies and young people.
In Australia it wasn't even as effective as the normal flu bug. This is a "worse case" prediction and one that is meant to frighten people into acting stupidly and supporting idiotic methods of containment for a flu that will be no more deadly than any regular flu that we largely ignore in the US.
Get your shot, (two of them for this bug) and live on.

They say even the shots might not work, but I'm certainly not worried about it. What will be, will be.

Pretty much. If you have a kid with asthma, get them vaccinated for the regular flu as well as this one. There's nothing terrible about being vaccinated, unless it wasn't tested like the last bird flu "epidemic" that never happened but the vaccine killed people...
Anyway, I'm digressing. This particular flu bug will have vaccines available in October for those who are most in "danger". I will be November before it is available to the public. It may have passed by that time. A flu wave lasts 6 to 8 weeks on average. This vaccine takes two shots, three weeks apart.

Napolitano is here in Dallas today talking to a firefighters union telling them that Swineflu is getting ready to kill lots of people here.

They are just telling you, you might die.

A young policeman in NY got it. He died within 2 months.
A 28 year old man in Florida was struck by ligntning. he died within 2 seconds.
We are all going to die, not one of us will escape this world with this current meat vehicle intact. Now will we die of this flu? Not very likely, not even as likely as dying of a normal strain of flu that hits yearly.

looks like some police states are going to take full advantage of the 'crisis'.

IMHO, it's just the latest phase in the unholy alliance between the FDA and pharmaceutical industry. When I saw that chick from the WHO declare a pandemic (and if she didn't, I'll take it back), I practically lept from my chair!
The worldwide death toll from this particular strain wasn't even enough to rate a percentage point as to how many people DIE annually in the USA from flu viruses that have been with us ever since I can remember.
Interesting that time tested cures and remedies have to wait YEARS before the FDA decides that they can market with declarations of they cure.....while suddenly VACCINES are being rushed through for the N1H1....a flu viruse that compared to others is NOT even exceptionally lethal.
As the old saying goes, follow the money!
Ah, sometimes hard to hear sarcastic voice tones in the written word.
