Agreed, I have panic disorder so I hate panic. I've intentionally began tuning it out, I'm not a millionaire so I don't have a "panic" room filled with a bunch of medicine and food if things go south, I just have to accept it and live my life. Worrying will stop everything, it will stop me going to school, it will stop me from making money in general or even exercising. No use in stopping what I'm doing, whatever happens, happens.

I do however think that even though the flu kills more, we know about the flu and its characteristics. I think what is causing panic in people more than the deaths is the unknown factor.
