From Clive (one of the people on this list) All this fuss over 19 deaths in Turkey and only 90 people dead in Asia (over the last two years). The UK alone has on average 3,000 – 4,000 deaths a year from the influenza virus. In an epidemic that hit Great Britain in 1989-90 30,000 people died, yet was there such a fuss over that then, was the army put on stand by for this epidemic, NO.
