Coincidence - or prophecy?
Is it not odd that now its refered to as N1H1?

Seriously - an average of 3000 people die in the US due to normal flu every year. As of this posting - 1 - a toddler - has died because of this strain.

*My heart goes out to the family of that child, as a parent one can only imagine the heartwrenching grief*

While a sad case, in perspective this "near pandemic" is less severe than a normal flu..... Anyone say its the tail wagging the dog to help promote a new "health care" agenda push?

Just a thought.........
In all fairness there have been quite a few deaths in mexico attributed to the virus.

There may be some truth in your consipricy theory, however for the most part the willing accomplis of the media unwittingly or not are big on hyperbole and selling ad revinue.
