Sure, it's something to watch, but certainly nothing to panic over.

« on: April 30, 2009, 08:00:34 PM »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.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.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.
I did learn a new word: Pandemic. Up until this, I only knew of an epidemic. It must be boring at the media headquarters.
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.

Anyone else thinks he's wearing a toupee?
I have to agree with Martin, they should have just kept the long-time OCM's.

I would not be surprised if they count every case of Influenza as "Swine Flu".
Not all flu is Swine Flu. Stop scaring people.
