Scary but not at all unrealistic. Stay at home people.[/quote]

It's scary because it's poorly written panic porn. [/quote]

Sure gets those clicks, though.

“According to the paper, among people aged 49 or younger, only about 0.2% of those who contracted the disease died.”

Ok, let’s say this is true. Experts think 40 to 80% of the population will get this because no one has immunity. There are about 200 million people in the US under age 50. If you take the lowest end of that — 40% — and take 0.2% of it, it’s still 160,000 deaths of young people in the US. Seasonal flu usually kills about 8,000 non-elderly people.

There is no way this shakes out that is not a big deal. Anyone who says it’s not a big deal is in denial.[/quote]
