#5 and #6, I suggest you google on the word “epidemiology” and learn some about that, before you make weird unfounded accusations.

It is very good that you aren’t the ones leading your country, otherwise it wouldn’t exist very long.

#5: Each of those 60 people could, if they were not quaraintained in hospitals, easily infect, let’s say, 30 others (which is a very conservative estimate). Then we have 1800 infected. Let’s have each of those infect another 30. Then we have 54,000. Each of those infect another 30, we’ve got 1,620,000. Are you beginning to understand why these first 30 must stay ISOLATED and the public must be aware of the danger involved? If here also, 10% would die, then in this scenario I just gave you, 162,000 people would die. “Cut it out!”

They are trying to create mass hysteria so they can then make laws to control us, similar to all the extra “security” we have to suffer through at the airports, to “protect” us.They are going to be putting more and more restrictions on us, you’ll soon see.It’s no joke. It’s not the flu I am worried about, it is the government trying to take take away our freedom.

So far this is just alot of strange hoopla for nothing. Many more people die every year from the regular flu than this. ALL US cases are mild, and it is not even clear that the flus are the same virus!! So just cool off all you media hounds!
