Richard;H1N1 is a virulent disease that potentially could infect millions. To somehow overcome such a threat, we should focus on the vectors of transmission. Of course, continue to search for that pharmacutical cure. Do this not so much to wipe out a virus but rather simply to understand our greater knowledge. Tell people to wash their hands, and to keep their fingers out of their entry sites. Also, tell people that they have probably never really had the flu. Most folks still think that the flu is something that they get every year. Finally, what's the point anyway? In the great scheme, our passing is but a nanosecond.
