Apparently the hospitals here are using SWINE FLU PANDEMIC as practice to test out their procedures in this kind of situation.

Well, when you have shit like the TERR'IST ALERT SYSTEM with color coded levels (the lowest of which still hasn't been used), what do you expect? When the media promotes panic over every trivial little thing...

This is how most media will report this.

Yesterday, the local news said there were 6 confirmed cases in our area alone, all of which were stable, with 12 more cases elsewhere in the state. My brother also got sick recently (stuffy nose, fever, etc.) and gave it to me when I got home. I'm not worried, though.


I'm waiting for people to realize "oh hey it isn't killing everyone".

I heard on the radio during breakfast that Virginia has had 11 confirmed cases and that all have either "recovered" or "recovered well." So yeah, proportion = blown.

Apparently the common flu has a higher death rate than the OMG SWINE FLU, so yeah.

Louisiana has 27 cases, and there's three in this area.

All of them mild, apparently.

No wonder you freaked then.

Still, unless you're phobic on that kind of stuff, it's stupid to worry until you have it. Even then...you have an immune system (or you don't, if you're unlucky).

First time today that I checked the news and swine flu was not one of the top six stories.

Yay Canada!

Yeah, but has it really taken hold outside of the elderly, poor, and weak?

Remember that the actual number is likely much, much higher (probably six digits). This is just the number of people that actually went to the doctor when they caught it.
