#1 We've always had the flu around in one form or another. Still killing people. Get a grip.

#2 It will be around for centuries and will get milder. The virus will become just another annoyance.

#3 Some people get chicken pox twice...

It's unusual, but not impossible... Are we taking unlikely events happening to the 10% of the planet who caught WuFlu and writing headlines for the unlucky to sound like it's common?

#6 Decline in demonic possession!
Perhaps it's divine intervention,
But just to be sure,
Let us work on a cure...
And more means of domestic repression.

#7 Mr. Wife and I got our flu shots today. Four different influenza vaccines in combination, all extra strong. With luck this years flu season will be very mild, to make up for the Coronavirus excitement.

#9 On parade, hail priests of King Tuttin'
With charade, held sprigs and a-struttin'
Crushed tea leaves of the theory
Smelled vapors, quite weary
Face pickled with mint due for mutton.

#10 I spoke with a nurse the other day, and she said that there are hopes for a milder flu season as people continue their hygiene like washing hands, etc. We'll see.

I haven't heard anybody blame this all on Al-Qaeda, but I suspect that's passé.
