The media have one strategy. If no one's listening, yank up the number of deaths. If nobody cares that 10 people died, how about making it 10,000 people died? That'll catch their attention. Still no response? Okay how about 10 million people died! Now that's good news reporting. Look how everybody's begun talking about it suddenly !
What exactly is achieved by an idiot of a journalist or a greedy struggling editor who decides to spawn more false stories like the so-called Bird Flu pandemic "waiting to happen". Can the clowns who live off the media do anything about anything at all, apart from print or show stuff that scares more people and blackmails them to read or view their products?
Besides what do you care anyway? America and Western Europe (the media wishes) would be spared by bird flu, which (again the media wishes) would finish off their Asian competition.
Well, neither of that's going to happen. The 1918 so-called pandemic was not even mentioned till the bird flu cases started appearing. Nobody knows exactly whether the Spanish flu killed a 100 thousand or a million, which itself is a tragic number let alone "50 to 100 million people" (wonder where people get their figures from).
1917-18 was the end of WWI. There was little reporting machinery in those times. Europe was a wasteland. Asia was lain waste by broken down colonial rule. There was no WHO or no independent agencies. Medical science and diagnostics were a fraction of what they are today. More people died from the poverty, famine and diseases brought on by the end of world war I than by the so-called flu, forgotten for a century, and revived by the wasted media, desperate for stories in an overheated age of competition where everybody has a "dream". Perhaps the media would like to print which country lost how many citizens instead of jacking up their invented claims of 50 to 100 million deaths.

Laughable!
