My feeling is that this will be like the Legionnaires' disease thing, a few days or weeks of hysterical shouting then nothing. The emergency will soon be canceled for lack of actual viruses.

The last bout of swine flu (in the late 70s) turned out to be a complete non-event.

Wow. Twenty idiots share Kleenex and it's an emergency? :rolleyes:

Quick math: infected people are about 1 in 15.2 million. Some outbreak.

Since this is obviously made up to give the government an excuse to declare an emergency I suggest that Conspiracy Theorists travel to Mexico and start kissing as many pig farm workers as they can. That'll show 'em.

81 dead and diseases spread exponentially.

No reason to panic yet of course. I'm sure the hoopla will die down in a week or two.

Going by the massive drop in chicken consumption during H5N1 fears, that's not too silly.
