But it's not like SARS and it's not like birdflu. Not at all actually. And yes, most people just have mild flu symptoms. But that's not the issue. If a third of your population is sick, you face serious problems.

Because it's annoying to have 1/3 of your population sick in bed. It puts a serious strain on society even if those people recover. And what about countries such as India? There millions of people over there who probably do have serious underlying illnesses with little to no access to medical care.
The funny thing is that now everyone says the media are exaggerating. Well, I want them to make people scared. In this case it's a good thing. I kind of like the idea that hospitals are prepared for the unthinkable. I kind of fancy the idea that, would it be necessary, I can get the necessary drugs.

I do agree with you though, that if this disease hits areas of the world with poor health standards then it could be quite grave. Mexico is a perfect example. It had hundreds fatalities. Most of which, weren't directly linked with swine flu but still affected by it.
Poor health standards and a rapid spreading unfamiliar illness is a deadly combination. But I have confidence in an effective vaccine.
EDIT: Yeah sure you can let the sniffles keep you imprisoned in your home.
If little Daniel van Borkface or Jaques Faubert start dying because of the flu they got at school, I think they'll close that shit down, or the Belgian gov't might be de gays and have something to answer for.
In response to my being scared of the flu, no, I don't care about it, bring this bitch on, we need some population control.

But yeah, I also would like the idea that if bubonic plague reached pandemic proportions that some medication would be available.
