Your preaching to the wrong person.
I'm NOT disputing all that you say in regard to the flu, how it's spread etc.
However, the UK and US Governents are obviously of the same opinion as myself and don't believe the flu epidemics are in fact pandemics, otherwise a compulsory vaccination programme would be implimented rather than voluntary vaccination of the 65's yr olds and over, those deemed at a greater risk and the vulnerable.
