Reply #15: I didn't even realize I was correcting your spelling.

I think I just read "squash" as "quash". I guess it wouldn't even really be incorrect to talk about "squashing panic" although that's not normal usage.

Doesn't the fact that people have been dying indicate that it can spread within us?

One thing I have been curious about is that, from what I've read to date, the fatalities have all been in Mexico. Does that tell us something or is it simply because more people there have been infected? Who has been dying from this? Is it mostly the elderly and weak, which occurs with typical influenza, or is it healthy young people?
