Something blown far out of proportion by the media and the World Health Organization. It's just
like the "normal" flu, excluding the fact that this swine flu does not currently have a vaccination.
The media fails to tell you that the only
people who have died of this so-called "deadly" virus are:
1) Mexicans with terrible health care and terrible health in general who are living in close quarters.
2) Babies and old
peopleNote that anyone who has any remote knowledge on disease knows that these types of
people die from the "normal" flu, and that the swine flu isn't some kind of deadly disease because it hasn't killed anyone that a normal sickness wouldn't have.
Also take note of the fact that hundreds of
people have gotten
sick in the United States alone, and yet all of these cases were called "mild". Know that all of these "mild" cases have occurred in adults and/or teenagers, who would not die from the "normal" flu.
What also is failed to be mentioned is the fact that a "Pandemic" is any disease that is spread worldwide. Thus, just because the swine flu is a pandemic doesn't mean we'll all die. The common
cold is a pandemic, and no
one goes around freaking out about that.
This is another phase in the "we're-all-gonna-die" angst in 50% of the
human population. It'll pass by 2010.
