      I did not know it was that serious for tots.

      What sort of mortality rate does it have for kids under 24 months?

      • Not sure of the exact numbers. It is still unusual, to be sure, for it to kill a toddler, but the rates are higher for young children than they are for older people. Other, pre-existing conditions, especially asthma, can raise the mortality risk significantly.

        • It's only a brand new flu. How many could it kill? Hell, regular flu only kills many thousands every year.
          I think Egypt has good intentions, without having a clue.

          Egypt orders slaughter of all pigs over swine flu

          Speaking of overreaction....

          • How many pigs would an average Muslim country have?

            • Since I cited Egypt once, I guess it's appropriate to cite them again.

              CAIRO — Egypt began slaughtering the roughly 300,000 pigs in the country Wednesday as a precaution against swine flu even though no cases have been reported here, infuriating farmers who blocked streets and stoned vehicles of Health Ministry workers who came to carry out the government's order.

              You kind of blundered into that one, didn't you?

                  I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

                  • Egypt has a large Christian population (relatively speaking).

                    Flu almost killed me once, by making me so weak an asthma attack nearly took me out.

                      You still haven't rebutted any of my points, only called me a bully and posted nonsensically.

                        No, I know Texans. There are good ones, but many bad apples, and you're ruining it for the good ones I know.

                            I suffer from mental disorders myself.

                            I dislike it when people use it as a crutch.

                            I tried cutting you a lot of slack yesterday, and only grew irritated towards the end. It'll take at least that long, if not longer, to wipe that away. A simple 'sorry' is unsatisfactory.

                              Go back and look.
