Wow, The US Flu Trend Line Looks Like the Bakken Oil Production Curve

Link here to Google flu trends.

Link here for a North Dakota oil production curve (it's an old graph but it was easiest one to find).

Seriously, that's a very scary flu trend line. I thought it was getting ready to flatten out last week, but tonight it's continuing upward, with no sign of flattening out.

I assume there will be calls to investigate why the vaccine is only 62% effective. I keep thinking of those nurses who refused to get the flu shot. Without the flu shot, 0% effective. Sort of like the lottery: the odds might be awful but you have no chance of winning if you don't buy a ticket.
