God bless the soul of the 23 yr old child that was the first confirmed death of the "New Global Killer" aka Swine Flu. I don't know, but it seems to me that since 9/11 the ability of mass hysteria and unfounded panic to take hold is really at an all time high. No disrespect but a bad case of standard flu can kill a 23 month old child. This flu is behaving no different then any other flu and is actually effecting far less people. But of course as the great Charles Xavier says. "Man fears what it doesn't understand" so because its a new version of the same old thing we all worked up about it. Hey cover the mouth when you sneeze or cough.Wash your damn hands(cuz we all know the dirty co workers that don't wash their hands.)And let's keep it moving cuz truthfully the REGULAR FLU HAS KILLED THOUSANDS this year alone.
