So, Obama announces he wants to allot $1.5 billion to combating swine flu.

The WHO says there are about 120 confirmed cases world wide.

That works out to about $12.5 million per case.

I am glad we have so much free money to spend.

Don't 40,000 people a year die from the "regular" flu...here in the US alone? This is nothing but a media hyped distraction.

maybe the billions will be spent on preventing further infection from Mexico, by sealing the border with an impenetrable barrier of attack baboons....

yeah it's kind of creepy how Int'l govt's are addressing this. There seems to be so much panic, yet the numbers seem to be too small to justify so much attention and stress

makes you wonder

They are hiding something... I bet if we look out the window we will see trash trucks moving the gold that was stolen from the WTC.

Think outside the box, Baddog. The numbers are appropriate. If the outbreak isn't carefully contained, the fallout could cost the country MUCH more in damages.

Typically, I don't butt heads with you about politics... but your math is based on very flawed logic. First of all, the money he requested is for more than treatment of currently infected individuals. The last time that swine flu showed it's teeth we immunized 40 million people... so that means that if an immunization program is implemented we will have to pay for vaccine, logistics, administration, information and service announcements. If I were you, I would figure out which companies manufacture vaccines for swine flu and invest.
