A friend sent me this link. Apparently they are planning on putting people under quarantine for swine flu.

How does 2009 H1N1 flu compare to seasonal flu in terms of its severity and infection rates?
With seasonal flu, we know that seasons vary in terms of timing, duration and severity. Seasonal influenza can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. Each year, in the United States, on average 36,000 people die from flu-related complications and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related causes.
I think there were only a few deaths worldwide from swine flu. They hardly seem justified in ordering people out of their homes and locking them up for this.
