- *Swine flu is the new AIDS in the 80’s (disease): Fear often spreads faster than a virus. Such was the case upon the appearance of AIDS in the early 80’s. Research was limited and no one knew how the disease spread or how it originated. In the United States, an estimated 20,000 people die every year from normal influenza. This equates to about 55 deaths per day – and they don’t make international headlines.
