America is based on capitalism - I have stock in the pharma companies, oil companies and, wind turbine companies too - if you have a 401K or IRA mutual fund you may also have stock in them. I wouldn't be condeming them too quickly.

If you are and American citizen who doesn't have a 401K or IRA, or other retirement savings program - its never too late to start saving for your retirement.

BTW

Putting an alert at Phases 4 or 5 signals that the virus is becoming increasingly adept at spreading among humans. Phase 6 is for a full-blown pandemic, characterized by outbreaks in at least two regions of the world.

Fifty cases — none fatal and most of them mild — were confirmed in the United States. Including the New Zealand, Israeli and new Spanish reports, there were 92 confirmed cases worldwide on Tuesday. That included six in Canada, one in Spain and two in Scotland.

Symptoms include a fever of more than 100, coughing, joint aches, severe headache and, in some cases, vomiting and diarrhea.

Amid the alarm, there was a spot of good news. The number of new cases reported by Mexico's largest government hospitals has been declining the past three days, Cordova said, from 141 on Saturday to 119 on Sunday and 110 Monday.

I eat and grow organic, do yoga, avoid poisons, moderately active and healthy, and I picked up a staph infection in the act of gardening! Boy, was I glad to get that Cipro!

Health Officials are looking to be the hero here people, bottom line. This bug is nothing we could not handle. How many people die each year from the flu anyway? ALLOT. This is going to be no different. Every flu season has the potential to "mutate" into something more powerful, thats what the flu bug does!
Why do you think last years flu shot does not work on this years strain?

Yes, and that said excalty the same with the HN5 Chicken flu, but it did not happen and never was likely to happen
I for one do not trust any of the big companies to have the interest of the peoples as a priorty, there priorty is making money and only money, If it does not suit them they will not bother and the Media is just as bad Scare mongering and those who listen to them are very scared weak people
Thats my take on it, We will see if there is a second Pandemic it two years the first one did not happen and the Govenments said nothing just let it fade away after disrupting millions of lives, I bet the same happens this time

Looking to be heros? Maybe they are just trying to do their jobs! How can they afford to be anything less than proactive?

Beetree, ever heard of, or read the book "Natural Cures' by Kevin Trudeau? I found it to be an interesting read.

Moderation is once again the rule........do everything you can to be and stay healthy, and go to the doctor and get whetever medicine is needed if something get out of hand.

Lost a friend to "natural cures" a few months ago.......would't go to the doctor.........then it was too late...........

Staff and Strep are bad news.........

High school buddy had strep throat, didn't go to the doctor and is not blind for life!
Another friend with strep lost kedney function and is on a machine 3 times a week for life!

My grandmom's sister was pricked by a blackberry thorn, she got a blood infection and died - before penicillian......the hospital used all the "natural remidies they had back then" it wasn't enough.

The book I was referring too, yes, says alot about natural cures, and what really causes disease, but speaks more of how the medical profession is 'in bed' so to speak with the pharmaceutical industry, and that they have a huge interest in keeping us sick, rather than healthy.
