I do take exception with your use of "journalist" and the alleged "fudging" of numbers. That's more what a "reporter" would do, whereas a "journalist" would pass along the facts based on what their research or an interview would uncover. The media as we have it today is filled with way too many "entertainment" reporters and multi-millionaire commentators. Would Walter Cronkite have used the first ten minutes of his new broadcast to criticize what ABC or NBC were doing? Ever listen to Bill O'Reilly? After Obama's new conference I did what every American should do - I turned off the radio and drew my own conclusions. And then washed my hands with soap and water.</em> I don’t agree or disagree with what you’re saying. I do take exception with your use of “journalist” and the alleged “fudging” of numbers.

Some researchers who attempted to research the CDC numbers a couple of years ago found out the mass numbers didnt match the individual reported numbers-turns out the CDC reported as a flu death every person who died while having the flu. . died from terminal cancer? Not if you had -or were suspected to have-the flu. In some states, anybody who died of pneumonia was determined to be a flu death during flu 'season'. .and that's the common cause of actual death of many elderly and invalid. Actually true deaths from the flu itself were something like 286 for the year. Today, I see Mexico is saying they are counting deaths from flu-related pneumonia. Who knows what they're counting-especially if they stand to gain a whole bunch of aid money for it? I doubt if we have much to worry about-except I always worry when we get inundated with some kind of impending disaster. When the govt says, "Look over there!!!", dont look where they're pointing-look what they're doing they dont want you to notice. Apparently, Google isnt your friend on this issue either, Everett.

It appears that quite a few people die every year from the flu anyway. I hadn't realized that the numbers were so large. <a href="http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/f/flu/deaths.htm" rel="nofollow">40, 000</a> in the US on average....per year. And that's an average year with no "pandemic". Google is your friend. Up Date II.
