I think this is all hype personally. How would they know what the next flu is 
going
to be before it mutates into it? Unless they are making it themselves and 
spreading
it.

They are just trying to keep the fear level up, just like all the security 
alerts
the government announces that NEVER lead to anything.  General fear of the 
people
means more control for the government.
