Are You Worried About SWINE FLU?

for some reason I'm not, every year tens of thousands get sick and die from things far more common.

why do i think i am more likely to win the lottery than come across a virus that has only affected a small number of people?

SARS, bird flu, monkey pox, the media hyped the hell out of those and i cannot even remember the last time they were even mentioned, what am i missing?

    No I am not worried in the slightest . The media are hyping it all up and scaremongering . They did it with the SARS ,and the bird flu . Here in the UK it is dominating the news and people are panic buying masks and demanding medication .

    I am not sure, I am hot and cold to be honest, one worry is becuase I seem to be serious immune to virus's at the moment, but I didn't get the bird flu or the other flu's or foot and mouth so I think it will blow over soon. I feel sorry to those in Mexico that have died though.

    All these 'designers' flu are not that serious compare to the seasonal influenza that actually kills 36,000 people all around USA alone every year...

    Go figure, how many actually die in Swine flu, SARS and whatever flu compare to the normal seasonal flu...

    LOL you're completely right! way to much hype and I am not worried at all! I work at a school in a place that has not been affected at all and some kids are walking around in masks and gloves it's hilarious!!! I mean really?!

    no...regular flu kills thousands of people...what makes this so diferent?

    nothing...it started in Mexico...whoopie!

    If the media wern't writing about all the BS that they do...we wouldn't worry about half of the things we do worry about!
