so what is your opinion?

the "swine" flu won't affect anyone and that it isn't real or some shite?

you don't think that it has to potential chance to become completely out of control by october?

think about it: 92,300 fans in tiger stadium, huddled close together, for 3+ hours.

now imagine one infected H1N1 patient decides to not stay home that saturday...

No more like the shite that comes out of your mouth.

Those who don't know history...

I know history, but your history is mostly science fiction. Get off of the sofa, maybe you can actually boost your immunity to infections by living a little rather than dreaming up death wishes.

wrong

so when the CDC states that over 90,000 people could die from H1N1 this flu season, they are lying?

No. They are guessing. And they are guessing high as always. And they are wrong as always. The will error on the conservative side always.
They are making up all of the vaccine dosages and they do not even know how effective it will be and it will not be available until flu season is well underway. So much for advance planning.
By the way. I do not plan to take the shot. I do not even take the regular flu shot.

By the way. Those stupid mask that people wear, mostly in Asia will not stop a virus.
They will march side by side by the thousands right thru the mesh size of those mask.

Some organizations will recieve doses of the vaccine before the general public...

one of them is NCAA football squads.

Going back to the topic however, I wouldn't be surpised that all it will take is for them to connect an outbreak to a football game (NFL or college), and the NCAA will get swept by with the hyseria and cancel games.

i could see it happening

The 1918 flu pandemic (commonly referred to as the Spanish flu) was an influenza pandemic that spread to nearly every part of the world. It was caused by an unusually virulent and deadly influenza A virus strain of subtype H1N1. Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify the geographic origin of the virus.[1] Most of its victims were healthy young adults, in contrast to most influenza outbreaks which predominantly affect juvenile, elderly, or otherwise weakened patients. The flu pandemic has also been implicated in the sudden outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in the 1920s.[2]

The pandemic lasted from March 1918 to June 1920[3], spreading even to the Arctic and remote Pacific islands. It is estimated that anywhere from 50 to 100 million people were killed worldwide.[4][5] [6][7][8] An estimated 500 million people, one third of the world's population (approximately 1.6 billion at the time), became infected.[5]

Back on topic. If half the team comes down with the flu at the same time our season will be affected.
