You said it!  I work for the NJ State Police in the Intelligence Center. 
The Governor and his staff is now there daily. 

The real problem is the media using this as a ratings grab across the 
world.  Look at the numbers, the number of people that died of the flu, in 
the US only, this year exceeds total worldwide fatalities by ORDERS of 
magnitude.  Every year, we see this activity.  But, because this one has a 
different signature, lets all lose our minds.

Business are going to go under, and people are not going to be able to pay 
their bills and can lose their homes as a result of the panic they are 
instilling.

This is no different then swine flu, bird flu, Sars, or any of the other 
types of outbreaks we have recently had.  But this one has the media 
waging the dog.
