Swine Flu is totally overblown.
Look at the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/csr/don/en/) and the US Center for Disease Control (http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/). Look at CONFIRMED cases, not suspected/maybe/symptoms, etc. It seems like any time someone sniffles, they’re automatically tagged as a “confirmed” case.
As of April 30, 2009, 10:30 AM EDT, there were 109 confirmed cases in the US, including one fatality. As of As of 18:00 GMT, 29 April 2009 (updated for the more recent US figures), there were a total of 166 confirmed cases ON EARTH, including 8 fatalities.
Typically, 36,000 people die EVERY YEAR of the flu.
Swine flu is NOT a pandemic. And yes, we ARE overreacting. Big time. Just look at the stupid Egyptian government.
