US deaths from 57/58 asian flu: 65,000
US yearly deaths from seasonal flu: 35,000
US deaths from 68/69 HK flu: 32,000
US swine flu deaths
so far this year: 1,500
US yearly deaths from choking on food: 744
US yearly deaths from accidental discharge of firearms: 700
US yearly deaths from peanut allergy: 100
US yearly deaths from contact with hot tap-water: 55
US yearly deaths from lightning: 50
US yearly deaths from being bitten or crushed by non-venomous reptiles: 31
US confirmed deaths from 1976 vaccine: 25
My prediction: hot tap-water is next on the list of evil conspiracies to fight.
