Something I tweeted at Ron Hogan last night is getting re-tweeted a bunch. He orginally tweeted:
Ah, Seth Godin: “More people are killed by deer than sharks, but you don’t see park rangers running around like nutcases.” http://is.gd/vgjb
to which I replied
@RonHogan & regular flu kills 3k people annually in the US, whereas swine flu has killed 0 so far.
& then added:
@RonHogan whoops. that’s closer to 36k. via brian williams: http://dailynightly.msnbc.m…
… so the credit goes to Brian Williams for keeping his calm and putting this swine flu panic into perspective.
