As Jay Leno might say after watching this Flu Buddy video, I don't even know what that means, but what the heaven, watch it for yourself and see what you think:

No? How about the comment italicized below that's been posted on the Hot Air blog, where there is a lively discussion about the relative strength of swine flu versus other viruses:

First US swine flu death reported in Texas

Check the Comments section at the bottom, where you'll see this posted comment by MaiDee, a comparison of swine flu to annual influenza deaths:

So far the grand total of deaths from all these “new” killer viruses in the past 20 years combined including Hanta, Ebola, West Nile, SARS, Machupo, Avian Influenza, Marburg and now Swine Flu hasn’t come close to matching the deaths from common flu in just one year in only the USA.

If we “cry wolf” enough we won’t get people to respond when a REAL medical crisis hits us.



Conversely, I would add, taking rapid action to spread awareness of killer viruses and ways to prevent contracting them may be just what is preventing a REAL MEDICAL CRISIS. I believe people in Mexico City both feel it and know it as a medical crisis, and the drastic actions taken pave the way for rapid recovery.

10 Growth Stocks for the Post-Bush Rally; Green Energy Investing

It's not a coincidence that 9 of my 10 selections are from the clean power sector; this is my area of expertise AND this is where exponential revenue growth is found. Most of these companies had a strong 2008 with at least a resilient Q4. Some of the more exciting names brought in more cash in Q4 2008 than they did in all of 2007.

The stock symbols are linked to Google Finance (online stock quote and info website), while the alternative energy company names are linked to the official websites of these major global renewable power stocks. Investing in individual equity securities is most suitable for high risk longer term investors; medium risk investors would be wise to participate through dollar-cost-averaging programs designed to steadily accumulate positions in clean power mutual funds and ETFs.
