Here is the states the lowest it can is $5 for the shot or spray. I keep hearing that in some places in Northern County (SD) the vaccine will be free. If it's free...why not?
Actually its because our state has always been horribly run in regards to public works, infrastructure, and health care. We're the ones who have record numbers of people dying from MSRA in the hospitals due to unsanitary conditions, we're the ones with incredibly cramped waiting rooms, we're the ones who instead of raising taxes to pay for our budget deficit (despite having some of the lowest taxes in the country) dumped mentally ill people into prisons, gave huge private subsidies to companies, are bankrupting hospitals, and have actually slashed our minimum wage below the federal minimum wage. Oh, then there was the case where budget cutting led to a Rose Hospital running an inadequate background check on a drug addict nurse who ended up infecting possibly over 10,000 people with HCV and the constant reports of patient dumping at St. Joseph's which serves most of West Denver, Lakewood, Wheatridge, and Edgewater. If there is a full blown epidemic, the Denver Metro area is completely ****ed, Boulder is ****ed as well because of how centralized and inefficient their hospital system is as well as its reputation for patient dumping and tiny waiting rooms. The rest of the state isn't much better. Basically, this will get bad from cramped ER waiting rooms where the virus will very quickly spread and mutate. Other states like Texas will probably be even worse considering that more than half the population use emergency care as their primary care. Quite frankly, if the 1918 outbreak is any indication coupled with the piss poor marks, we may be heading towards a catastrophe that will have a lot of very negative effects but may at least force the government's hand on some things like universal health care and employment. Kind of hard not to do something when your population has been decimated (I use decimation in the actual meaning of the word, meaning destruction of one in ten).
Again my argument is not a comment on modern technology. It's a warning about modern infrastructure, society, sanitation, health, and any number of factors that will spread the disease and will allow it to mutate and become more dangerous, faster and our health care system's inability to provide adequate relief.

This is my current stance on it. I'm not really that savvy about the medical field and don't speak from knowledge, but I feel like the people that are going to die of swine flu are the ones who could die of the flu anyway or be majorly affected by it.
I had it over the summer. They gave me Tamiflu just to make sure I didn't spread it to anyone else, but I just threw up a few times, felt shitty, then got better.
Actually it's mainly young people who don't have the antibodies. Older people are ok because they do but it's mostly young healthy adults and children who are dying from this.

I hate the idiots who are actively campaigning against vaccination and the wacko conspiracy crap being spewed right now. A lot of them are the same idiots who want to screw over health care and think an emergency room is good enough for most people. They're going to create a public health catastrophe.

Plus enticement to panic and creating a clear and present danger are not protected speech.
