Yah so... I just love media hysteria.
2009-Apr-30, Thursday 09:42Since they tried to panic the public about that supposed Avian flu that they so badly wanted to get it to cross to over into human to human transmission, so they could report on it.... now they have this swine flu (which they never fail to mention also has an avian combinant of some sort) Now the news is that Mexico greatly exaggerated the numbers of sick and dead from this flu. And also the media is making it out like this is a huge number compared with ordinary flus. That's not true at all.

Seriously people, As of yesterday, 68 people in the US had the so-called "Swine Flu". 1 death in Texas, but the poor kid was imported from Mexico. That works out to 1 in 4.8 million US residents infected this "Pandemic" "Deadly" "Swine Flu".
Let's just get a little perspective here. 174 people in the US die each day from the normal flu varieties. That's almost 64,000 people a year in the US die from flu. So, while media have been hyping up this "Swine Flu", "Pandemic" over 600 people have died from other everyday varieties of flu (in the US alone)!
I guarantee also that what they're not telling us is that the deaths and serious illness in Mexico are most likely among the very poor, where they are packed into tenement houses like sardines with no way to pay for (i.e. GET) medical attention when they are sick. I feel their pain. It's not like I'll be able to go to the doctor if I get sick. If I get sick enough to go to the ER then they can't turn me away, but I won't be able to afford the Tamiflu even if I could get in for treatment early enough. Thankfully it's not going ot happen anyway because the media is exaggerating this wildly out of proportion.
Isn't there a law about inciting panic? I'm pretty sure there is.
Seriously folx... get a grip.
