1. 14.000?
(08.18.09)
Last week the Health Minister (Shas) said not morre then 700 will die and it is just a flu....again Israel is absolutely NOT prepared!!
2. Epidemic flu and vitamin D
Stephanie ,   Israel   (08.18.09)
Read this very important article http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/51913.php

How is it that Australia can predict 6,000 deaths (and I'm not sure we've hit that through our winter!) and Israel, 1/3 of the size, is predicting more than double that? Something's not quite right in their modelling...
4. Show the video of the hebrew ynet
HYGIENE VIDEO   (08.18.09)

Maybe because we are mid summer and in Australia its winter, so they expect the big hit in October when the winter starts in Israel....

Israel is 1/3 of Australia??????????? Israel is 1/3 of tiny Netherlands.....I think you are mistaking
7. size - population, not area
Simon Nothman ,   Sydney, Australia   (08.25.09)
Israel is 1/3 of Australia by population, not by landmass area. Clearly Australia is much larger in that regard
8. Using fear to control the masses...
Hadassah Lerner ,   Jeruslaem, Isarel   (11.05.09)
9. It's all fear-mongering on the part of the government
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.05.09)
The government is working for the pharmaceutical companies, who are only concerned about making money with this vaccine. They don't give a damn about the people. The greatest defense against the flu is your own immune system. So strengthen it by taking vitamin C and D.
