Dailymotion - Swine Flu 1976 & Propaganda - une vidéo Expression Libre (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9mh9f_swine-flu-1976-propaganda_webcam)

CBS "60 MINUTES" documentary on the swine flu epidemics of 1976 in the U.S. It went on air only once and was never shown again.

Bob Casey: The More Things Stay the Same... Here’s a CBS 60 Minutes video from the 1970s (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/cbs+60+minutes%2C+swine+flu+vaccine/video/x9mh9f_swine-flu-1976-propaganda_webcam) about swine flu that you may find interesting from an historical context. While there is no question that the current variations of the flu are pretty virulent, by keeping an eye on the Southern Hemisphere, which is still in its flu season, you can get a good sense of what's headed to the Northern Hemisphere this fall and winter. So far, the death toll is still well within seasonal norms – which is to say not even a blip compared to the catastrophic death tolls that accompanied the flu that swept the earth in the early 1900s.

I have family in the UK and Australia. The swine flu is claiming more lives each week (notably those with health conditions). Their governments are ramping up a H1N1 shot program to be started in August. Problem is the virus is spreading and mutating, the shot's not going to help. I do see a pandemic of flu coming and God help those with compromised health issues.
Yes, it's going to hit young and middle aged adults first because of travel and work.
Yes the very young, very old, weak and ill are going to die.
It's real and it's coming, based on current trends and historical stastical data.
