BS. I take good health very seriously.
Had H1N1 been deadly we would have lost millions. We were totally unable to stop the spread in spite of a very clear understanding of the threat. Why? Commerce.

Why? Because it was not the threat that it was made out to be?

Whell, do you have any clue how contagious it was? No you don't. If it had been as lethal as it could have been millions would have been dead just here in the US. Honest Whell, your posts in these regards are ridiculous.
What you should be pissed at was that we did not seal the boarders. In other words we did not respond responsibly. The very oposite of what you believe.
Read about the 1918-19 flu. While you do, keep in mind how small the world is now and that it would spread hence affect more people as a % of the population than it did then, and at a lightening pace.

Never happen. And monopolies are NOT unbridled capitalism.

You should hear my dad talk about Dioxin for example
But the real problem with the next black plague, even if it isn't fatal, is that if too many people get sick the distribution system breaks down. Food, gas....
It's serious.

You keep referring to the turn of the century. Are you stuck there? Do you honestly believe that the socio-economic conditions that existed in this country back then could be recreated in this country today? Including the circumstances that supported the propagation of flu epidemics? It's quite a different world today, even setting aside the activist government that evolved over the last 100 years.
