Hm...are you sure you're laughing at the correct thing?

Great. So if your priority is to maximize life and minimize American deaths, then the recent flu virus (H5N1) in Asia should concern you since it has a 70% mortality rate according to WHO.

"280 million people in the USA, with 30% infections would give 80 million infections. With 70% mortality, that would give 60 million dead Americans."

"That's about 20,000 times as many as 911 which was considered a major upset."

Not only would it kill a lot of Americans, but it would drastically impact our economy and increase deficits even further.

How much money is spent on fighting H5N1, since that could kill many millions more than a terrorist attack.
