It's just an overall silly comparison to make, and I hope at least a few people recognize that. Look, it's called prevention. Swine flu may have the potential, based on its currently known properties, to be really deadly, and we're watching it to find out if it will be. And really, I haven't seen much alarmism about it from the news networks themselves (even on Fox News).

It still makes perfect sense to say, for example, that a story on Swine Flu and a story about the Economy both have a 60% chance of being interrupted by a commercial break. That's a "total" of 120%, but I'm not quite sure why you insist on adding the percentages together, since the chart is about separate events.
