It's worrying how much fear mongering is happening. Yes, its highly infectious and people have died but WHO figures show that between 200,000 -695,000 people die from the flu every year. The worry is it spreading to 3rd world countries where medical services are either unavailable or unable to cope.

It's frightening but I am sure in this country the impact will not be too severe.

The worry is if this is anything to do with possible chemical warfare testing.

Just another example of me not having a clue about anything
