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.

</end rant>

I agree with Gil here. 36,000 people die every year from the regular flu. 36,000!! It's ridiculous how the media does this. They might as well say the world is ending. Let alone the 2012 apocalypse hoax that nearly everyone freaking believes..    OH! And don't forget the little black holes that the atom smasher could make and suck up the whole solar system. Also, how about global warming! The ice caps are melting and that may cause mega floods.The media has NO life at all. It's stupid.. The media doesn't know when to quit! Now this  swine flu stuff?? Gosh, no wonder why other countries have no freedom of the press.     
Sorry for the outburst, but I'm getting tired of the media trying to make people panic and I'm tired of people believing everything they say!

Well, there is one person in my area now that was tested today for H1N1 Virus (Swine Flu) because she was showing Flu symptoms. The person was on vacation in the Caribbean (Not sure where) three weeks ago for spring break. The doctors are not expecting it to be H1N1 because it's been three weeks since she was on vacation.

EDIT: The girl that was tested today is in Springboro and she went Cancun for vacation...

Why is it coming from Mexico? What's the source (besides pigs) in Mexico that it makes it so deadly?

Because we travel, a lot. So, it's easy, very easy to spread from country to country. The reason why it's deadly, according to people.. is that the reason Mexicans are being killed more and are having severe symptoms, but people in the U.S. are dealing with mild symptoms, because people in Mexico don't live in a clean environment, and not only that, people in Mexico don't have the luxury of seeing a doctor with in a day, thus, they don't get antiviral medicine and treatment like we do, and they deteriorate, fast. We, in America, do have the luxury of seeing a doctor more, thus we get treatment, and we only get mild symptoms.

I'm not worrying about it much.. I'm going to be cautious more, but I'm not panicking.. If I get it.. well... all well.. I got it then. So what?
I hope our schools get closed because of it..

Okay, people are seriously overreacting to this..    It's just like the basic flu!! But were not immune to it and there's no actual vaccine for this type of strain the recently mutated... yet..

Gosh, it's not like the Plague.. 

Here's one out of the thousands of articles about it on yahoo: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090427/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/med_swine_flu

Wow. My aunt just passed away 10 minutes ago.

I'm so sorry to hear that Gil. I feel for you. I lost my Uncle a couple of years ago and he was the only Uncle who I got along with well and spent time with a lot.  He was a BIG drinker and his liver and kidneys failed one day and his body just went down hill in a couple of days and that was it.

Tomorrow our school is having a reward day for finishing standardized testing and being good during the tests. Every venue to watch a movie, etc. is taken. Only other place available: playground.

Tomorrow's forecast: Partly sunny. Highs around 70. Southeast winds around 10 mph.

I'm heartbroken.

Wait till you get to High School, it's work work work until the the very last second before summer break..

Here's the cities that my WeatherStar has

It hasn't changed since well, when it upgraded from the 4000 I guess
