Let me rephrase that a bit for you:

  If I have a friend that gets caught up in a 100M+ flu epidemic, then
  I'll just avoid contact with him until he gets better. I'll probably get
  one cough from him, maybe two, before I get the idea.

  I should not be concerned about the other 99,999,999 other people with the flu.

Still sound like a sane approach?
