My mother... WHO WORKS IN A HOSPITAL... “They didn’t make this much of a big deal about H1N1. And you know the regular flu kills a lot of people too.”

Mom... we’re past the number of deaths of H1N1. We’re past the number of deaths in Vietnam. And we will soon pass the number of deaths the regular flu kills in a year, but in only 3 months.

“Well, I just hope the warm weather kills it.”

I just can’t... I really just can’t.
