And at least 10 people died of pneumonia in Hong Kong yesterday, and pretty much every day this year so far. But that's got no press at all - I think the government are doing a stunningly good cover-up job!
And what about the USA? At least 20 children (oh no! not the children!) have died of good old fashioned flu there so far this winter... shall all get worried about that too?
