Makes no sense. Same thing happened with SARS and West Nile.

What about this flu killing middle aged healthy people? Most of the people that die from the normal flu strains are infants and the elderly. I think it makes sense that they are taking precautions, it doesn't make sense when it is "overly dangerous" and out of control. Hopefully it isn't as bad as the media is making it out to be and hopefully this increases vacination rates.
