    World wide mortality rate (3.4573%) is still about the same to lower than influenza... Which worldwide is usually around 3% to 5% annually. Not that this couldnt get worse but at this point in time I'm not too worried.

    No, I'm not. In fact, I am taking zero preparations for this potential epidemic.

    If you're calling me a sheep, I'd like to answer my question. Ithink its a fair question.

    It sounds to me like you're drowning in koolaide.

    Fair enough

    The question stands, though. How do you differentiate "fake" from real news?

    Pick yourself up a copy of this book. You will learn lots and lots about the media in this country.
