It would be like reporting the counting of every single case of seasonal influenza and every single one of the 36,000 deaths in the US every year. As in Chinese water torture.
People will ignore it for the summer. Can't blame them. Perhaps they will follow some of the pandemic guidelines.
Here it is...you all put some away for the fall/winter just in case...
You can prepare for an influenza pandemic now. You should know both the magnitude of what can happen during a pandemic outbreak and what actions you can take to help lessen the impact of an influenza pandemic on you and your family. This checklist will help you gather the information and resources you may need in case of a flu pandemic.

Things are getting serious enough where we can't say much without spooking the herd. We need people to keep it together and get prepped. The people here who would take of me if I got it are sick. I am watching and monitoring my son Skye like a paternal hawk. We are giving him vitamin C, monitoring his fever which has passed for now. I know people who are sick. What they have is not a cold and it is pretty intense. Day by day. Let's keep an eye on the girl in eastern Canada. Medclinician |

This got blown out of proportion. A spokesperson at a press conference mentioned 30% infection rates (which is at the low end of most pandemic scenarios) and the media did the math and came up with 2 billion, which sounds more dramatic. It refers to the CAR (clinical attack rate), not the number of deaths and it's very realistic.

I love your comments, the bible does mention 1/3 will die.
