I’m not worried about the swine flue. I figure I and my family have been exposed over and over again since I travel so much. I just don’t understand the hype around this. I understood it when it appeared there is a risk it could manifest differently than the normal flu but it does not appear to be the case at. Most people appear to have been immune or have developed immunity quickly with the vast bulk of cases being very mild to the point of no being noticed. Also for those worry-worts out there if you fly on a plane, you have probably been exposed, if you’ve went to an amusement park or traveled significantly then you have probably been exposed when means you already have immunity.

This thing is being rushed way too quickly and there is no real justification for it. It reminds me of episodes from the Xfiles. Why the rush?

Because it’s estimated that 60,000 more people in the US alone could die from htis flu than regular flu, and the numbers being affected aroudn the world are staggaring- this is a serious flu, and will really start to take off i nthe next couple of weeks, months as kids get back to school
