The end of the world- Swine Flu new info

Okay so we all know Swine Flu is very dangerous. We know some people died in the US.
According to a newly released Report:
Between 60 and 120 Million Americans could get sick with Swine Flu (this fall and winter)
30 Million could be infected with the virus and NOT show any symptoms.
1.8 million could be hospitalized because of this
AND 90 thousand could die.
which is 2X the deaths of a normal flu season.

US Health and Human Services Secretary- Kathleen Sylvilis (sp?) speaking Monday (yesterday) says:
"The pattern of infection is unusual. It hasn't yet infected Seniors." Instead it's more likely to occur among children and young adults. In laboratory tests Scientists learned something new. The test animals easily spread the virus when placed in the same cage, but not when they were placed in separate, adjacent cages. Swine Flu appears to be spread more by Direct Contact not as much through the air.
At the University in Kansas 47 students are sick. They are now Isolating these students.
When the Vaccine is available it will be two shots seperated by three weeks. It wont be till after the second shot though that the patient will be safe.

All this info and MORE could be found on yahoo.com the featured section. Or any other questions ask me (because I know some people hate reading).

Okay so just reading that made me smile a little. Really? Whoa. So many people. Watch this all not happen, and if it happens I doubt many people from my state will get it. This sounds like a broken record and some B rated horror movie. Agree? Well if we show no signs of the flu and have it then that's even scarier. I never knew that could happen. I'm not really worried about it though, but this just makes me think. How could just a damn bird, a pig, and a human create such a BIG mess? Everyone thinks it's airborne, but as said it's by direct contact. I don't have much direct contact with people, and am a clean person usually. They make this sound as if it's huge when it wont kill that many people. They said it COULD, but I doubt it. We'll just have to see. This reminds me of some zombie movie where a virus kills people, then they come back to life like in Resident Evil. If anything it would be more populated areas in America. Most people would be New York, Massachusetts, California, Texas, etc. The big problem is not just humans who could carry it, but Animals.
