Swine Flu: Media taking it too far?

forte_amirulI hate Kuwait,due to swine flu,now we must wear mask to school or else we can't get in into the premises.

Really?
Near my city ( my city is capital city), there's a town which has Swine flu in it,It has been spread up
And now my mom ask me to do Swine Flu Immunisation

LoonylionActually, swine flu has killed significantly less than normal flu does.

Well I didn't know it was less.. But still... Ironic huh? It's just hype, it'll die down...Just like Foot and Mouth Disease was bad and there were very very few incidents...

i dont even know what thae Foot and Mouth disease(s) are

Apparently there was a confirmed case of the H1N1 Flu Virus (Swine Flu) at PAX (Penny Arcade Expo).They are telling everyone who has symptoms to seek out help just incase.

LOLyeah well TB isn't fatal I don't think, I'm usually quite healthy and rarely get ill, I won't die at any rate. It justs causes coughs (how it spreads) and fever.

snebbers · #27Lmfao yeah, I've just heard from my morning update that three people in my college have TB.. I haven't had my jab.

Over is au it's the children and the elderly first...and because of the number I won't be joining that number...Besides-despite me working with people alot and outdoors I doubt I'll need it-if it's like any other cold I'll just pass it on and get better next day XD

people say its a cover-up for the credit-crunch. 0-O fact?!?! probably not...

thats what i heardd....

From what? Fox? Keep your conspiracy theories where they belong; Snopes. Or a very very deep hole.

I haven't heard that conspiracy anywhere in the US.This thread is the first time I've heard of it, actually.

it was just a bebo group thing. i was just saying.... but yeah, not that many have died of it here (Northern ireland! :D)

I haven't heard of that conspiracy thing either... That's news to me.

the ironic thing is that TB had been eradicated in the developed world before the swarms of third world immigrants brought it back. And yes TB can well be fatal. H1N1 itself seems to have mostly disappeared, although the WHO seems to think it will make a reappearance some time in the future.

yeah apparently it can merge with other illnesses to create even worse illnesses, or a merging of symptons that could prove fatal to quite a lot of people.. And yeah I heard about it coming back with the cold weather expected in Winter when peoples Immune systems are not 100% efffective due to colds and the like.

I had it i i go to school with hundred of kids it is hard to get but it is short the media is just blowing this all out of porpotion

I had the flu last week.And?I lived.It was just as bad as a normal flu.
