I just want to point out that this thread only started 3 1/2 weeks ago, when the outbreak began in Mexico.
As soon as the toddler died in Texas, there was a media black-out and WHO started to fudge figures and play down any severity.
Ecoparity has inside intel saying that the infection has many guises and it could come back with a vengeance to those who pick up a primary infection.
On top of that, he himself has become ill, so you can understand his frustration in trying to help people with info, but they then question his validity.
I've stocked up twice on food, ready for a lock down. I prefer Eco's intel, rather than the MSM's; the choice is up to you.

11000 infected and 86 deaths isnt a super killer and if the CDC's assumption is correct and over 100000 are infected then that makes it even less of a threat.
www.who.int... Out of 11034 infected, only 85 have died, according to the WHO. That's .7% fatalities. I do not consider this a significant threat yet, especially since people are currently recovering alright at home in my state.
Exactly, thanks raven

GENEVA, May 22 (Reuters) - Countries should be ready for more serious H1N1 infections, and more deaths from the newly-discovered virus, World Health Organisation chief Dr. Margaret Chan said on Friday
In cases where the H1N1 virus is widespread and circulating within the general community, countries must expect to see more cases of severe and fatal infections," she said. "We do not at present expect this to be a sudden and dramatic jump in severe illness and deaths."
She stressed in closing remarks to the WHO's annual assembly that there was little real difference between the current pandemic alert level of 5 and the highest of 6, and said she would consult experts before deciding to raise it again. "I will be advised by the emergency committee," she said. (Reporting by Stephanie Nebehay, Katie Reid and Laura MacInnis)
