I am weary of all the swine flu hype. It's THE FLU. Over 30,000 people in the US die from THE FLU (regular type) every year, and we don't get this type of attention. The media is feeding people's fears, and elevating the panic levels.

If we are healthy (which most of us here are), our likelihood of getting the swine flu is equivalent to getting any other type of flu throughout the year. It is NO MORE FATAL than the regular flu.

The media should be ashamed. I am carrying on life as normal.
