Okay, this swine flu thing is getting really annoying. Let's look at some facts....swine flu is no worse than the "normal" strain of the flu. There are drugs out there that will shorten the duration of the effects the flu has. There's a handful of people in a few states that actually have it. Yet we are treating this like thousands are dying and it's something out of "28 Days Later".

The news media is LOVING this and while they make it seem like the impending doom of mankind at the hand of influenza, the reality is IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL. There are far bigger issues to deal with, like the economy, and the news is just doing everything they can to scare us. It's quite ridiculous and I have no doubt that they are creating much more fear and worry about this than is necessary. My favorite is here in Florida, where until now, there have been no cases of swine flu, yet the news constantly reports long segments on the fact that swine flu isn't here yet. That's like reporting no one has been murdered today and then going on and on about how someone COULD be murdered today...it's a non-story!
