250 people out of 6 billion in the world? This is huge! Sorry, but this is no where near where near as bad as what they are saying.
I did learn a new word: Pandemic. Up until this, I only knew of an epidemic. It must be boring at the media headquarters.
There's actually three levels for describing a disease: endemic, epidemic, and pandemic. The level of threat goes from lowest to highest in the order I listed.
Noooooo... Oh god, no. This is so miniscule, it's barely worth mentioning. The media likes to scare people. Society needs to have something to panic about. Politics are getting old, so lets have a health scare.
Just B.S. to sell flu shots, which in turn have harmful life-long side effects.
This is what I love about the health community - so good at making people believe every word they say.
It's incredibly simple: Eat healthy (not many people really do), exercise, practice good hygeine, and take care of yourself. You'll be just fine...
I'm not even saying that it's not out there, there might be a few spreading cases, but this is hardly worth mentioning. There are REAL diseases out there that are spreading and killing people every day, around the world, which never get mentioned on the news.
Think about it. I just feel sorry for those who believe everything the media tells them. One thing people do not know how to do, is think for themselves.
