It's better to get people scared into taking better care of themselves than waiting till it's too late! A Doctor can't do sh** for you if there isn't a cure for the flu!
People should be looking after themselves already, regardless of killer flus. But, yes. Precautions are good, but not "Watch out! If you near enough lick, touch or HELL, LOOK at anyone, you're gonna catch this flu and DIE! DIE I TELL YOU, DIE!".

People need to be careful, but it's being acted as if it's some sort of zombie epidemic.

You shouldn't be worried, because H1N1 symptoms are the same as regular flu symptoms.

I just meant that there's a lot of evidence that they're trying to release things like this. It may or may not be true, but still.

Things like this tend to get blown out of proportion a lot. There have only been a handful of deaths from the swine flu. But has anyone really worried stopped to think how many people actually die yearly from the flu and why? Sure, it is something to keep an eye on, but don't get paranoid. Doing so only causes bigger problems.

On a side note, the day before all the news on this broke out, I was playing Pandemic 2.....I think I'll take a break from that for a while..

*raises hand* I don't believe in evolution.

*raises other hand* I think this whole thing is just hype and the news has nothing else to report. Call me when ebola breaks out, then I'll blame Bush, because after all, everything is his fault.
