The Swine Flu is turning into a cash cow for the pharmaceutical industry

Vaccinations are underway here in Germany and in the US. President Obama has declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency. This doesn't mean that the spreak will get worse, but it does make it easier for hospitals and local governments to treat patients. And that means spending more money. Add that to the cost of the vaccine and the swine flu is turning into a cash cow for the pharmaceutical industry.
