Of course it is no consolation to those that died from it, but 1,000 is barely a pandemic as compared to what normally happens annually from a regular flu.

This is nuts!!!

Totally agree.

Yeah, I think this has been around long before the 'craze'.

Interesting....I doubt it but who knows.

There is WAY too much hype over a nothing flu.

But again, we did it for our baby....figure better safe than sorry. I'm still kicking myself for the EIGHT HOURS though. Damn.

And damn the media. Cover something worthy already!
