Swine Flu. Tragic. Over 100 dead in Mexico and cases has been seen in 17 other countries. Everyone is panicking and hell schools in America has been shutting down.

In Australia there has been no cases found and yet people expect us to be in a state of alert. And for some of us, we are. Especially the health nuts who see anything with more than 2 micro grams of fat on it to be considered an unhealthy food. My mother has recently been force feeding me Vitamin C tablets and other crazy mineral shit she ordered from her crazy health medicines website she's part of for the price of $30 a tablet. She's wasting all this money on stupid shit that will probably make me even more exposed to other diseases than the goddamn Swine Flu.

If the Swine Flu isn't in your country yet, stop panicking. If you don't trust the news and say that "OH BUT YOU CAN NEVER BE SURE" shut the fuck up. For those people who's country is infected I am sorry, now can you please stop making such a fuss on it on television? I don't think every news day is as slow as to report on some micro-organism that is capable of killing people, hell HIV could do that twenty fucking years ago.

I am sick of everyone around me shouting the words Swine Flu like a fucking internet meme. For fuck's sake people, grow some fucking balls and stop worrying.

Oh, and as quoted by a person in our guild: "9 People infected of Swine Flu, everyone wears surgical masks. Millions have AIDS and yet no one wears a condom."

LOL'd hard, that's great

I agree 100%, swine flu is driving me fucking nuts. it's in our country but only one person has died from it (and afaik that person was a mexican traveling from mexico through texas.. so honestly I don't understand what all of the fuss is about. oh wait. this looks FAMILIAR...

west nile virus
SARS
bird flu
anthrax
Y2K
killer bees
WMDs

the media finds a new goddamn thing to try and scare everyone with every year, and why? because it improves their ratings ENORMOUSLY.

now, wanna know the real kicker? the media isn't even telling you the real information. wanna see how hyped up this really is?

FOX News (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,518320,00.html) - "In Mexico, where the flu is believed to have originated, officials said Wednesday the disease is now confirmed or suspected in 159 deaths, and nearly 2,500 illnesses."

World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/csr/don/2009_05_04/en/index.html) - "Mexico has reported 590 laboratory confirmed human cases of infection, including 25 deaths. The higher number of cases from Mexico reflects ongoing testing of previously collected specimens. The United States has reported 226 laboratory confirmed human cases, including one death."

23 total deaths confirmed, 816 infected. fox news reported 159 deaths, 2500 infected.

This whole mass panic shit is pissing me off too.


Everyone's like OH GOD, 100 PEOPLE DIED FROM IT, IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD.
It's bullshit, just like CONFICKER and its ZOMBIE COMPUTERS.

You can't really compare a influenza with aids. The difference between swine flu and aids is that aids only spreads if you (the person who's infected) want it to spread (means having sex). You can't control the spread of this influenza.

But I agree, the hype really does suck. Every year at this time we get annoyed with a new disease in the news.
