I don't want to seem like I am insensitive to this situation but:
N1H1 Virus also known as the Swine Flu.
60.8 million people infected.
17,000+ died.
No panic, nothing canceled, no one hoarding toilet paper.
WTF am I missing?????

Simple math paul... by your numbers a VERY LOW mortality rate for swine... like .02% vs 2%

Additionally from what I understand, if you get this and don’t die, your lungs are severely scared for life. I don’t remember how contagious the swine flu was, but this one is extremely contagious, the danger is our health care systems might become overwhelmed, which might increase the mortality rate.

Bob, you may be right about the scared lungs but at my age who the F&^%K cares. We all gotta die from something and sometime.
Me? I don't give a #^&#^&#^&#^&. I had Cancer twice, 2 heart attacks, more injuries than I care to get into. Served during the Nam debacle so if I go tomorrow it's fine.
Just as long as I break 80 on a real good course, I'm good to go. Fishing? I caught, released and killed enough Bass to feed a 3rd World country so there's nothing there for me anymore.
I really believe this hysteria is being fueled by social media and the media in general.
Hoarding TP!! Go wipe your ass with some leaves!!!!  |

Total agreement with you on this point.
I am completely disgusted with how the general public is handling this!
Not saying it's a hoax.......but people should just calm the #^&#^&#^&#^& down. It's a shame! |

I also agree that people are acting like $&#&&, but too many voices are equating asshat people and government responses. The two should not be viewed as one.
