"...the media keeping us scared silly, the gov keeping us largely uneducated,..." and obviously they were pretty successful. Saying "Pandemics are indiscriminate" is ignorant beyond words. Ever wondered why it is Mexico were most people are dying and not the US? The rich or privileged will always have best possible treatments and care available when people in third world countries will suffer the most, as there will be no surveillance or vaccines to stop the epidemic. Anyways, how is it that the "reason" behind pandemics is to cull the population when most viruses that actually kill humans are not "meant" to infect humans as their primary host? We are biological organisms and as biological organisms we try our best to survive. I bet cows would develop a cure for BSE if they could. "I refuse to have any shots or other treatments until I am actually "sick"." "Besides we could probably use a good culling or two." Just to show the connection and wishing you good luck.
