What's your opinion on the Swine flu outbreak/pandemic?

i think the swine flu is EXTREMELY over exaggerated. it is not any worse than the regular flu. people are only flipping out because there is not vaccination. many people every year survive the flu without a vaccination. and many people die as well. the thing about the people dying is mutual between the swine flu and the regular flu, they are either very young, or very old. their immune systems cannot fight off the infection, vaccination or not. this is just blown out of proportion because the US has nothing better to talk about in the news right now.

It reminds me of the time bird flu struck, and the time when we had the SARS virus. There's a lot of mis-information going around in the media which confuses people more. Our scientists are working on isolating the problem and developing remedies for it. It's not the end of the world but just a caution for all the things that can so suddenly affect us.

I think that it has been extremely over-exaggerated by the media and has therefore wrongly panicked alot of people. You can die of ordinary flu but no one worries about that! I think that people should stop worrying and keeping themselves cooped up and get out and enjoy the sunshine!!

It is going to cause a hell of a lot of head aches of both kinds, painful and worrying type. If i get it so be it; it is a risk i take yearly.

Its not as serious as people think. Our media is so dramatic. Its not the end of the world, so breath. Just keep washing your hands

people keep panicing to much

All i can say is, i'm still fighting off bird flu.

i think it just came from a mixture of viruses. and its NOT the end of the world. there's kind of a 'pattern' ~ if you'd take note of the bird flu, Asian flu etc which have occurred over the past decades. also,its dangerous.every virus IS dangerous. we have to take precaution against it 24/7. it wont go away just like that. we have to fight it,to eliminate it. though,its possible it might come back again,like the bird flu.it dies down and HITS you. so,its IMPORTANT for people to be alert at all times and to practice basic hygiene. The news from the media,i wont call them 'stories' they're warnings. and i have definitely no clue as to how long will it last.as i stated,they wont be gone forever. all i can say is that i offer up my prayers and condolences to those whom suffered due to this H1N1 virus.

My opinion is for everyone STUPID and INCONSIDERATE enough to still travel to Mexico on vacation since this outbreak....I hope you get the wicked stuff while you're there and then can't get out of the hell hole for 10 days.
