Reply #7: "When in danger or in doubt, run around scream and shout"

Sorry, but I can't get worked up about this one yet. Twenty cases in the US? None of them fatal? Get back to me when a there's been a few dozen die in this country.

Really now, approximately thirty six thousand people die in this country from the regular flu that goes around each year, yet we don't panic. But jeez, get some of that swine flu, coming from south of the border, and people freak:eyes:

Meanwhile, what other news stories go by the board as the country is gripped by mass, pointless hysteria? Oh yeah, that whole thing about torture, prosecutions, etc. Gone, forgotten, down that ever lovin' memory hole.

Please people, get a sense of perspective.
