We just need a few more idiots making super viruses and super soldiers.
One day mother nature will clean house.
Or when Yellowstone blows, all concerns will change drastically in a few minutes to several years.

Interesting, my doctor just told me the same thing
The rating, that is all they’re going for like humidex in summer and wind factor in winter, very long time ado, when I was yong we would open the door, spit out, if it froze before reaching the ground we would had an extra layer, now I still can’t feel the difference between minus 15 and minus 20 mind you it those feel much colder
Was it not Winston Churchill

The 2009 Swine flu fear was not the first time that came around, in the later part of the 70's the marine corps tried to give a swine flu shot to all the marines, some of us became conventialy (SP) unavailable until they quit giving the shot. The other thing that happened around the same time was that scientist were saying that bacon caused cancer and everyone should stop eating bacon, the marines said bring on the bacon the more the better. As I believe Regan said "check but verify" The news is one of the biggest outlets for inaccuracies when it comes to reporting, especially when it comes to aviation.

Yea. Listening to the news and weather, everything is reported with a sense of urgency in their inflections
And big red “BREAKING NEWS” banners for something that happened 6 hours or more before.
I never watch TV...I mean NEVER. I only have one TV, just a 47 inch screen and I use it for a another monitor.
I don't watch the news, weather, don't care who did what or why. I don't have time for all that stuff.

And I was fearful as it might be me. I don't think the fear was uncalled for.
