Swine Flu!
Jun. 27th, 2009 11:13 amKay, I admit I am out of the loop when it comes to the news. I'm not allowed to see it unfiltered because my reactions are excessive.
And then I read about swine flu. Talk about over-reaction! The world seems to have gone insane - the US has over a million cases of the disease with only 127 fatalities and yet they are acting as if it is worse than any other disease in history. Um, folks, get a grip. Those statistics are EXACTLY THE SAME as every other version of flu in history. Using normal illness to get headlines is pathetic. The UN, US, and every other tax-sponsored body trying to make money or garner public awareness based on the swine flu should be ashamed. They won't be, of course, since people are scum.
