I think this whole swine flu thing is making me crazy. I intentionally don't read or watch coverage on this so I can stay blissfully out of the loop. I know very little but even then, I see it everywhere. I am so sick of the US media blowing things like this out of porportion. The bird flu was the next big thing and it came and went. I remember the Haunta virus here in NM years ago, that came and went. That was scary because it was carried by mosquitos. Haven't heard about that in years. Now we have a new virus (a flu with mild symptoms) and the world is going ape shit. I don't understand the need to whip people into a frenzy especially when there isn't much we know about it. I googled a list of symptoms and could not find one article relating to that. If it were truly such a terrible threat, you think they would have a website dedicated to symptoms and treatments. If there is one, it isn't easy to find. I can understand this is a threat and that it is something to think about, but having people on edge and in a contant state of worry is just not right. Most US cases have been mild and treated with over the counter drugs. How many people die of the regular flu each year. How is this so different? Because there isn't a vaccine as of yet? I'm sure once there is one it will have come and gone. In a few months we'll look back on this and wonder what ever happened to the swine flu? ! Just another reason why college kids shouldn't go to Mexico on Spring Break. Let that be a lesson! HAHA
