Off the CDC site:
"Every year in the United States, on average:
* 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu;
* more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications, and;
* about 36,000 people die from flu."
You think people don't joke about the "human" strand of the flu?
Why do people always concentrate on the "breaking news" and never on the things that are really significant in their current situation?
Why don't you worry about this predicted 'outbreak', when it exists? There are many more current and significant issues that you could be concentrating on today.
There is nothing wrong with joking about death. I know people fear it so much, as they fear most of the unknown, and of change, but it is just as much a part of life as anything else people joke about.
Just so you know, you are going to die someday, as am I, as is everyone else. There, there, now, calm down, you'll get over it. Just make the best of the life you can enjoy, and quit your belly aching. Every aspect of life deserves a little laughter.
