"medical evidence suggests that the H1N1 virus is no more virulent than common influenza strains, which kill more than 30,000 every year."

I agree. Sometimes I wonder if it's being made bigger than it is to get peoples minds off other things. :shrug:

The CDC even said today that this appears to be waning. I think we can all step down off the ledge. Over 1300 people had already died from the regular flu in the US this year alone. This hasn't proven to be any worse.

However all this media whipped up frenzy has served to overload some ER's

Way to go media. Nothing like sensational reporting.

I never took mine off from Anthrax. And SARS. And 'Bird Flu'. With 'Swine Flu', the duct tape is getting pretty thick.

That's great.

I'll still go there for a day trip this week.

And to Mexico in 3 weeks.

If only 2000 people get it in a city of over 20 million, I'll take my chances.

I agree that the media is the reason people are crazed about all this flu stuff . look what happened with y2k!!! it wasn't like we were about to be hit with a cat 5 hurricane or anything but more people prepared for that then Katrina which I thought was ridiculous. even my uncle was hording rice and flour and such when Obama became president?!! He thought the country would go into a major depression over it. Or something. He's crazy!!!!
