[QUOTE="Tommy Ruyle, post: 656136, member: 1448"] People, get a grip!!! I'm not saying you should ignore the the "thing", but put things in perspective! The media has whipped this totally out of proportion. :mad: As of this morning, the CDC shows 91 confirmed cases in the US. I'm not even going to count the so called "US death", because it wasn't a US death. The child was visiting Brownsville from Mexico, got sick and was taken to Houston where the death occurred. Listed below is the CDC's information for "regular" flu for this season. It list four different types of flu and the number of pediatric deaths. National and Regional Summary of Select Surveillance Components Data cumulative for the season A (H1) - 6223 A (H3) - 750 A Unsub-type - 10266 B - 8686 Pediatric Deaths - 55 [i]Ref: [url=http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/fluactivity.htm]http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/fluactivity.htm[/url][/i] Did you know there were 55 pediatric deaths this past winter from the normal flu? Is this information on the news every five minutes? No, because the CDC says this has been a "mild" flu season. Would I be going to Mexico now? No. But I'm not going to lock myself in the basement for two months either. Get a grip people! [/QUOTE]
