The issue is that kids were much more affected by this swine flu than the usual flu. I don't know, but it sure is more concerning if kids die than if a geriatric person succumbs to pneumonia. I don't think it was a mistake to be careful with this one. This plot is sobering. Every dot on this is a dead kid and a grieving family.
