You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than catching swine flu, avian bird flue, or mad cow disease combined.

I think something like 2000 or more Americans die from heart attacks every day but know one talks about that.

I'm not really worried about swine flu but I guess people get freaked out because its pretty contagious and can kill whole towns and stuff. Just some food for thought.

Media frenzy. And you wonder why the general public is so paranoid? LOL

It is sorta like a major sporting event if you follow the updates though. Either way you have to say it's entertainment.

Don't blame the media, entirely. I think people, as a general rule, being wholly ignorant cud-chewing kine, that will believe anything they are told, has something to do with it.

I love how the media left out this part of influenza.

I think we are far over due for a good plague that wipes out a significant number. None of this AIDS or cancer bull shit that takes years and years. Catch something by doing something stupid...and boom dead in a week...maybe two. Get to it mother nature.

I wonder why people have died in Mexico from this type of flu??? Uhhh, maybe the fact that they live in poverty for the most part and can't just run down to the local drugstore and get some medicine to help? A lot of families would have to drive over an hour let alone have a vehicle to make the trip to get what they need.

Above all else, proper hygiene practices would prevent a lot of this.

As a counter point, US stockpiles of regular influenza vaccine are usually pretty pathetic. You can blame the drug companies and insurance companies for this situation, oh, don't forget lawyers.

Yup, its amazing the way the media just glosses over these facts. As well as the fact that those that have it in our country are pretty much going through the regular stages of any influenza. Yeah, we just had a 2 year old baby die (first to die in this country), but people die from the flu every year.

Freakin' media morons.

Yeah the media is "the ghey". Oddly enough, back in '76 the swine flu "vaccine" did more harm than the actual flu itself.

Because human to human transmission was nearly impossible at the time. It's still on the WHO's hit list as flu viruses tend to mutate.

The Greater Mexico City population is estimated at 25 million.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

This just some assinine bull. A paranoid may connect it up to the pharmaceutical companies. Or maybe Obama is starting to stir up support for his health plan.

Just a goddamn waste of MY money.

Bring out the tinfoil hats...

There's no way it could be the obvious answer of the media profiting off of the story. It must be a government conspiracy!!!

Haha, no kidding. I work in "the media biz" and this shit cracks me up. Lets all freak out and go Ted Kazinski on the government conspiracies.

The media engine feeds upon itself. You all are to blame as you feed the media blitz engine. The more you talk about it, whether positively or negatively, those are still hits on the story, the hype, the media...

But lets not kid ourselves...the media engine wouldn't exist if people could think for themselves and form their own reasonable opinion.
