    I wonder how it could be that in this country we are told there have been no recorded cases of the Flu this year, none!

    Unfortunately since they didn't learn the last time, there is zero probability that they will this time. As the old saying goes for the majority of people "The only thing they learn from experience is that they never learn from experience."
