So your position is....

• People are going to die anyway. Might as well get on with it and decrease the surplus population.
• Respiratory disease is only ranked 7th, it's about time it moved up a notch or two.
• 4% of 6 billion people is only 240 million, we will still have 5.7 billion left.
• Unless of course it mutates as much as the common cold. But hey, they are only people. It's not like it's killing our dogs or anything inportant.

  Hey, is that American Idol...keep it there!!

I see you like to put words in other people's mouths. My words are right up above there.

Your panic is palpable, and not productive. Panic never is.

I doubt very much 240 million will die of this pneumonia. When I see the plague trucks patrolling the streets, loudspeakers blaring "BRING OUT YOUR DEAD" I'll begin to panic.

You had better go hide in a duct taped cave someplace, and tune the wind up tv to CNN for more factual updates.

Sheesh.

Ya'll are silly, kneejerk reactionaries, looking to the government for security, health and wisdom. You will be disappointed.
