There are eight confirmed cases of death from swine flu, H1N1, whatever, in Mexico. This from 176 deaths. Why even quote the number 176? Why not quote those who've died last year, or the year before that from the flu, a flu, any flu? EIGHT confirmed deaths from this strain.
I am amazed this is continuing to be considered a disaster. But wait, if it's not a disaster now, it will be soon. Is that right? Just in case you didn't read the above slowly, eight deaths. In total. As of today. In Mexico! When should we panic, exactly?
The real sickness is in those who INSIST on being scared of their own shadows. And if you're not scared of their shadow, they'll tell you YOU are the one who's in denial.
