Whats The Swine Flu?

Whats up with the public and Swine Flu?

• Ok this recent so called outbreak of this swine flu is ridiculous and I think whats even more ridiculous is the public. You can agree with me or not, I dont care, but I do think people are taking thjis thing waaay to seriously. First lets start with the government blasting this thing all over the news and internet calling this thing an outbreak. Did you see the movie "outbreak" with dustin hoffman? Yes I know it was just a movie but its possible for stuff like that to happen with REAL outbreaks, like AIDS for example (funny thing about that is that we know of that one and people are still spreading it like wild fire, told you people stop messing with those nasty chicks in the club or your boyfriends FRIENDS lol). Anyway people were falling dead in a week and showing terrible symptoms within 1 or 2 hours, now thats an outbreak. This swine flu is no OUTBREAK, the government I know are just trying to prevent that from happening and are protecting people, but dont freak the public out by getting the media involved. They blow everything out of proportion. Second, is the public itself. A wise man once said the public is the most stupid thing on this earth (basically people). In a sense, whoever said that was right. I work as a pharmacy technician and all day its calls or walk in's about Tamiflu or Masks. Its like you didnt ask about this sh*t or even been getting a prescription for it until you heard about this thing, so why the heck are you panicking? I live in florida and there are no known cases here. Yes I know it preparation but they are preparing for nothing. I garauntee if I got on the news and told the public that sh*t was going to rain from the sky and funk up the earth I garuntee you would have people going to home depot and lowes buying extra toilets and gas masks. Same thing if I told them money was going to grow out the grass at 12 midnight, you would have dumba**es sitting outside waiting for it. I think the old people and parents are the worst of it. Old people think EVERYTHING will kill them and they got to have every pill for their protection to stay alive (they are so melodramactic). They think if they dont take a pill or miss a day then they will die, whatever. Parents are more in a protective mind set because they want to be around for their kids or have their kids around. Kids get sick, stop being so over protective. Now I know your all thinking that "this could be me" in those situations, but I refuse to believe everything somebody tell me and that includes the media. Im too chill and relaxed and prepared in my own way for that. Thats why so many people are stressed out in the world and are on vicoden, prozac, and percocet. Im not going to let things worry me and for that I enjoy life more and have a lot less headaches. This swine flu epidemic is just like the so called "Bird Flu" that didnt do a d*mn thing. When people start falling dead by the hundreds, then I will take it more seriously. I know most of this sounds cruel but cmon, you know the public has become outrageous and will believe everything they hear on the tv. what do you think?

• Answer:

  yeah, thats the reason I don't pay any attention to crap like that anymore, because it is uncalled for.... the swine flu is just like any other disease/virus and can be treated for if caught, but you have to be quick on it..... they are trying to get people like us paranoid over this stuff so drug stores and doctors can get money for medications. never listen to the media.... they are just preditions all the time thats all ,.
