36,000 people die every year in the flu season, which is 3 months long.
That's 300 people a day, every day, for 3 months.
This one is no different, just hit sooner and quicker than folks thought it would.
I'm still not taking any chances though, been slathering the kids up with Purell antibacterial hand cream every chance I get!

Yeah, the media really has everyone worked into a lather about it though.
Dunno about the rest of the country, but around here it's hard to find a doctor's office with vaccine, and if you do they tend pretty much will only give it to the elderly and others who are most vulnerable.
And you've got people calling around like crazy in a panic like they're gonna die if they dont get the vaccine. Gotta love when the media scares the herd...
