    Very sad as those people probably didn't have to die.
    A flu shot and prompt medical attention and chances are they would still be alive today.

    I hear the Tamiflu is out of stock around here, wish the Government didn't control access so a person could have a stock of necessary meds if needed.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Actually even with the shot and prompt medical treatment you COULD still die.

    Yup ... don't matter if you got the 'flu shot' or not.

    Then why bother packing a pistol, changing batteries in a smoke detector, having a spare tire, keeping a fire bottle in the kitchen?
    You pays youse money and youse takes your chances.

    Why bother getting out of the bed in the morning? You're just going to end up dying anyway.

    I've never seen the benefit of being a "glass half empty" person.

    Negative people do have rotten luck. I wonder if there is a connection? Facetious question, I know there is a connection. Not just picking on you US55, you were just the last one to post.
