If you, as you say, DO get it, perhaps you would enlighten the rest of us as to where it came from, what it is, and where it's going. Seeing a conspiracy at every turn doesn't mean you get it.
Worry on.....
BBDog, you directed the above comment at BertaBurtonLake. The fact is you don't realize who you are talking to there and she is not one to toot her own horn.
I am not saying she knows the answers to your specific questions you posed, but when she is cautious, there is a very very good reason. When BBLake talks, it pays to listen. She might know more than you think she does.
As to the poll, I am trying to be balanced. Since the southern hemisphere is going into the winter months and the flu is over there, it bears watching. It might fizzle out but then again it might get stronger and nastier. I will not be stupid enough to predict it will absolutely be a non event before all is said and done. I hope to heck it does fizzle out.
If I get the flu, I think I might survive it. My Mom probably would not though as she has COPD, diabetes and is 73 years old.
And if enough people get it all at once, it could impact allot of services and supply of goods.
Old Gray Mare said to be respectful of things like this and I think respectful is the appropriate word.
I think Dex's opinion bears repeating as well:
Dex: Do not underestimate the potential for outbreak and the ability of that outbreak to mess you up. It's so easy to be complacent and think that this thing is all hype until you actually get sick at which time you will regret your arrogance in more ways than one.
