Whats up with the public and Swine Flu?

Question

Ok this recent so called outbreak of this swine flu is ridiculous and I think whats even more ridiculous is the public. You can agree with me or not, I dont care, but I do think people are taking thjis thing waaay to seriously. First lets start with the government blasting this thing all over the news and internet calling this thing an outbreak. Did you see the movie "outbreak" with dustin hoffman? Yes I know it was just a movie but its possible for stuff like that to happen with REAL outbreaks, like AIDS for example (funny thing about that is that we know of that one and people are still spreading it like wild fire, told you people stop messing with those nasty chicks in the club or your boyfriends FRIENDS lol). Anyway people were falling dead in a week and showing terrible symptoms within 1 or 2 hours, now thats an outbreak. This swine flu is no OUTBREAK, the government I know are just trying to prevent that from happening and are protecting people, but dont freak the public out by getting the media involved. They blow everything out of proportion. Second, is the public itself. A wise man once said the public is the most stupid thing on this earth (basically people). In a sense, whoever said that was right. I work as a pharmacy technician and all day its calls or walk in's about Tamiflu or Masks. Its like you didnt ask about this sh*t or even been getting a prescription for it until you heard about this thing, so why the heck are you panicking? I live in florida and there are no known cases here. Yes I know it preparation but they are preparing for nothing. I garauntee if I got on the news and told the public that sh*t was going to rain from the sky and funk up the earth I garuntee you would have people going to home depot and lowes buying extra toilets and gas masks. Same thing if I told them money was going to grow out the grass at 12 midnight, you would have dumba**es sitting outside waiting for it. I think the old people and parents are the worst of it. Old people think EVERYTHING will kill them and they got to have every pill for their protection to stay alive (they are so melodramactic). They think if they dont take a pill or miss a day then they will die, whatever. Parents are more in a protective mind set because they want to be around for their kids or have their kids around. Kids get sick, stop being so over protective. Now I know your all thinking that "this could be me" in those situations, but I refuse to believe everything somebody tell me and that includes the media. Im too chill and relaxed and prepared in my own way for that. Thats why so many people are stressed out in the world and are on vicoden, prozac, and percocet. Im not going to let things worry me and for that I enjoy life more and have a lot less headaches. This swine flu epidemic is just like the so called "Bird Flu" that didnt do a d*mn thing. When people start falling dead by the hundreds, then I will take it more seriously. I know most of this sounds cruel but cmon, you know the public has become outrageous and will believe everything they hear on the tv. what do you think?

yeah, thats the reason I don't pay any attention to crap like that anymore, because it is uncalled for.... the swine flu is just like any other disease/virus and can be treated for if caught, but you have to be quick on it..... they are trying to get people like us paranoid over this stuff so drug stores and doctors can get money for medications. never listen to the media.... they are just preditions all the time thats all ,.

The media is creating a mockery of swine flu. I'm a nurse, and, do not get me fallacious, swine flu has the competencies to be very critical. In truth, it isn't going to occur. Yes, folks have died from it. Not considering that it is a lethal virus, however considering that so little is known approximately it correct now. People additionally die from the "usual" influenza virus always too. The media is creating a significant mockery of it. First of all, you are not going to get swine flu from beef. Absolutely fake. Second of all, mask are going to do little to aid you. Yes, it is airborne. But if a contagious character is round you, dressed in a masks method little. What the media demands to be emphasizing is fundamental hygiene. The simplest truly technique to preclude that is the equal technique to preclude the consistent flu. Wash your fingers consistent! Use hand sanitizer should you can not wash your fingers! Don't get coughed or sneezed on, and do not do it to different folks both. It's simply typical feel. People are freaking out even though considering that the media is rather gambling this up. Sure, there are worst case situation measures being talked approximately, however the media is appearing like we are all going to die from swine flu. We're now not. Some would. Just like a few die from the consistent flu each and every yr. The deaths for this reason a ways have now not been as a result of the seriousness of swine flu, however considering that of the loss of capabilities of it. Doctors easily do not know the way to react to this considering that it is new. But nowadays we have bought such evolving science, that we have already discovered plenty approximately the virus. The media is simply making folks panic over it. I'm a nurse, and the nurses I realize from the ER say they're getting plenty of nutjobs pondering they have got bought swine flu whilst they have got bought the sniffles. People simply ought to be clever, loosen up, train well hygiene, and now not pay attention to approximately ninety nine% of what the media is announcing approximately swine flu. I critically heard anyone say that they were not going to consume tacos considering that they had been afraid of having the Mexican swine flu... idiots! All in all, swine flu goes to motive deaths. But so does the consistent flu. It occurs. We're on the commencing of a brand new virus, and it's going to take time to determine it out, and work out the best way to manage it accurately, and that is the colossal situation right here correct now. Just making an attempt to determine how the virus works. Does it influence the younger and historical worst just like the consistent flu? How speedily does it unfold? How extreme is it? Etc. There had been earlier outbreaks of swine flu, one within the early 1900s, and the ones had been worse considering that they did not have the science we do to determine the best way to deal with it and preclude it. The simplest factor we do realize for definite is well hygiene is what is going to safeguard you such a lot. Other than that we are not all going to die from it. Some will, however that is existence. Tell it adore it is- you look to be making stuff up. Sorry, however swine flu is specific considering that it's NOT affecting mainly the younger and aged just like the usual flu. This is why it is a bit specific, however it does not imply it is always to any extent further lethal. As for the younger, you are a little off base. Newborns are born with immunities from their moms, it isn't as though they're fully susceptible and defenseless. In many instances a tender healthful little one is extra ready to combat of a virulent disease than a run down grownup. What has been unexpected is a few of the instances had been core elderly adults, which isn't average. As I stated, it is a new virus that we ought to get to grasp is all. But for the leisure of your junk, eyes swelling close, and all that... bunk.
