The fact is to keep those numbers down required an enormous amount of medical care and equipment, and when you have to divert resources on a massive scale you reduce the quality of care for ALL patients.<br />And then there's the other problem, the possibility that the virus could mutate and become a lot more deadly. So you NEVER take a new pandemic virus lightly, like the Cons did, it's a matter of common sense...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-81756451949049055682009-11-05T00:09:11.303-05:002009-11-05T00:09:11.303-05:00hi Jason...I'm glad you liked the image.

Milder by far than the past couple of years. Australia had 186 swine flu deaths (they normally average 2 and 3 thousand from seasonal flu). 6 months ago they were predicting over 6,000 Australians would die from swine flu. Reality, 186. And they did it all without a single vile of vaccine. My god - how did they all survive so well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-320069840041007732009-10-29T20:35:55.515-04:002009-10-29T20:35:55.515-04:00The image at the beginning of the postmade me laug...The image at the beginning of the postmade me laugh outloud.

I cannot for the life off me,know what to do, if Harper gets a Majority,... there will be a lot of people wish they had passed on with the H1N1, because Harper will be a lot worse.Carihttp://google.canoreply@blogger.com
