Not here, we're a level-headed bunch. It's the same thing the news does with everything - sensationalize.
I agree the Flu is a serious thing. I'm lucky I'm not in a high risk group and that I have a strong immune system, even though from what I've been hearing that doesn't really help with this since the body will attack itself. So I'll wash my hands and be a bit more cautious and go on my way.

I feel sorry for the CDC. What a sh*tty position to be in. If they don't do their job, thousands die. If they do their job, people see nothing happen and then bitch at them for interrupting their day with some reminders to wash their hands.

I agree.

Lack of mass flu deaths is not proof that the warnings were b.s. It's proof that the extra awareness has done its job.

That's not what I was saying. It seems that people have forgotten that people die from the regular flu and now it's zomg people are dying from the H1N1 flu with absolutely no recollection that people die from the regular flu.
