To answer your question about the h1n1 flu: it spreads very easily and it's been especially hard on kids/teens. People get upset when they see kids dying. Here in Maryland another teen (18 yr old health male) just died from it.
It was declared an "emergency" to speed up access to healthcare. Don't forget the US has limited or no access to healthcare for some segments of the population. Even with good insurance and $$$, some people can't get what they need. I think anything they need to do to speed up healthcare is a good thing.
