36,000 A Year

Before you rush out and buy this spiffy bio-gear,

Remember - pandemics and plagues are nothing new.

What does seem to be more prevalent are the multi-derived (and not known to exist in nature) strains of these diseases.

It seems as though the followers of Joseph Mengele have found a new population on which to test their ideas.

But according to the CDC - the most common causes of death in America in any given year (about 2,448,017) will be;

- Heart Disease - 652,091

- Cancer - 559,312

- Stroke - 143,579

- Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases - 130,933

- Accidents - 117,809

- Diabetes - 75,119

- Influenza/Pneumonia - 63,001

(36,000 from Flu alone and with 220,000 hospitalized)

Yep, that's right.

Thirty-six thousand people die from the flu every year.

Most of the other deaths could be eliminated by diet, exercise and abstaining from tobacco products.

How much of this new panic is much ado about nothing?
