Of course, regular, garden-variety influenza kills tens of thousands of people EVERY YEAR, but don't let that keep you from being frightened out of your wits. The Bush administration is here to save you.

I know this virus hasn't changed to a human-to-human vector yet, but forgive me for not being terrified. I'm old enough to remember when swine flu was going to "end human life as we know it". And frankly, if this administration tells me that the sun is coming up tomorrow morning, I'm making serious plans to be out of the solar system by nightfall.
