Media Panic

It would be HORRIBLE to have swine flu, and worse to die of it.

But what a PANIC the media has drummed up. Mexico's death toll has been revised from over 150 to fewer than 20.

Deaths in the USA I don't think are over 20 yet, perhaps not even 10.

FYI - Dr. Dean O'dell points out that in the USA from January to April 800 people a week die from complications of the flu. Not the swine flu, regular old flu.

Must have been a slow news week last week.

Even a local middle school got caught up in the panic - perhaps someone sneezed in the hallway and they closed the school. The state has ordered schools to re-open. Perhaps cooler heads have prevailed.

So just keep washing your hands. Always good advice - swine flu or not.

And let's see how the government responds with new ($$$$) programs (gov. control) so we don't have this 'epidemic' again.....

Who is it that said, "never let a good crisis go by" or something to that effect?
