I was really surprised by some of your reactions to the outbreak. Just because your personal experiences tell you otherwise, the swine flu is a serious threat to countries right now and there's a reason why major countries and WHO are scrambling to vaccinate people. Its not fearmongering at all.
We're all young here - ages 14+ and I doubt anyone here is over 25. Your immune systems may easily fight it off but to malnourished people, the elderly and very young, it can be very dangerous. They don't have the strength your immune systems have. Dont get the wrong impression - you guys have been or are infected by something that is killing people right now.
And the swine flu isn't dangerous just because it can kill a few people - it has the potential to kill millions if the strain morphs into something that current vaccines cant handle and something that our bodies have never seen before. There's a reason why some people are comparing the swine flu to the influenza epidemic that occured during and after WWI.
Scientists and politicians might be wrong. This outbreak really might only infect several thousand people and vanish or be successfully treated with a vaccine. But once our government leaders and doctors start getting attitudes like some of you have here, we might really be faced with a serious epidemic and be totally unprepared. "If you fail to prepare, you're prepared to fail."
You do realize that the normal flu kills thousands of elderly, malnourished, and very young kids every year too...
Same as swine flu....the only difference is since swine flu is new and people haven't built up a resistance to it they are more likely to catch it.
In other words...If you caught the normal flu and didn't have it vaccinated your chances of dying are just as high as if you were to catch swine flu and not have the vaccination...As you said most of us are fine. When we're saying not to panic we're not talking to old people or babies or starving people, we're talking to young moderately healthy ppl...no one in here should be panicking. No one in here is in danger of dying. The only people who should be worried are the people who would also be worried about normal flu
Yes Ganji...we'll go with that and swastikas and non-relevant pictures...
for all the people who aren't Ganji=retarded
Swine Flu=Normal Flu...only its easier to catch since its new...
If you aren't afraid of normal flu then don't be afraid of swine flu...eat your leafy greens and drink your OJ and you'll be fine more or less and those of you that do get sick, well won't be out of commission for too long

Its not like its the first flu strain...theres many...it changes easily. No different cept its new. Kinda weird though, everyone is like "But omg! people are dieing from it". Like they don't realize people die from flu every year...
