"The combination of increased fallout, more pollution, less safe food supply, new wonder bugs beating out wonder drugs is going to cause a new Black Plague, or new plagues." celente called it. atlantisrising.com

Call it a joke if you want. You may want to start doing some serious research on the subject. GERALD CELENTE’s latest trends alert just released looks back from the year 2012. “2012. The future has arrived. Empire America is collapsing. The Panic of ‘08 became the Crash of ‘09. The global financial system has melted down. Most paper money isn’t worth a dime. The worst of environmental fears have been realized. What some call the “War on Terror,” others call WWIII. The onset of The Blackest of Plagues has the world’s populace terrified. The streets are teeming with the homeless, helpless and jobless. Major cities look like Calcutta. Neither Big Brother’s surveillance, corporate security squads, or angry vigilantes can stop the pandemic crime wave. Even gated communities provide no sure sanctuary; the rich have become the targets of choice for kidnappers, gangs and organized criminals. Food is plentiful if you can afford it, but dangerous to eat unless you grow your own or get it from reliable sources. After years of drought and mismanagement, water shortages have reached crisis levels in much of the world. newparadigmdigest.com

The difference between a pandemic and normal flu isn't the death rate, as you rightly noted. The difference with a pandemic is that it spreads very fast and the medical community can't do anything beyond anti-virals, usually because the problem just migrated from animals to humans. In a particularly deadly pandemic, your health has almost no bearing on whether you survive. Regular flu typically takes out the extremely young, the old, and the infirm. When the Spanish Flu hit the West Coast at the end of WWI, otherwise healthy people were dropping like flies. This pandemic doesn't seem to be an unusual problem, at least not at the moment. It is good practice for the medical communities to see how prepared they are for the real thing, which will eventually happen. We are overdue.

Nonetheless, stocks linked to flu´ - more or less or hardly at all - went completely gaga: NVAX 3.48, GNBT 0.59, BCRX 3.60, AVII 1.23, DVAX 1.49, HEB 1.08, INHX 0.42, GNVC 0.80 (and APT 2.50) GILD the only serious company as it collects royalties on oseltamivir, up 4.2%
