About 10-14 days ago, I started hearing reports of a "devastating" flu epidemic in Mexico which had "sickened over 1300, and KILLED 130." I thought "10% death rate, this is serious." Well, you all know about the mass panic that has ensued. Today I read in AP that there were actually 506 cases in Mexico, and 19 deaths. In addition, the strain does not carry the markers for virulence seen in past deadly flus. In other words, you would be best off to get this flu NOW to build an immunity to any future mutation of it, which they are already warning about for this winter. These media outlets are real pieces of work. A worldwide panic created. Blame being put on Smithfield Pork, schools closed, billions in travel $$ lost because of the buffoonery of the semi-retarded vice president's comments (come on folks, is this guy not twice as stupid as Sarah Palin was "made out" to be?) No responsibility for them aye? I am fed up wih this crap. They lie, misinform, sensationalize, and mislead. I wish somebody had to pay for this crap!!!!
