i think theres a couple thousand deaths from the regular flu every year around the world. The only person thats died in the us from swine flu so far is a mexican baby brought from mexico for treatment.




but you shouldnt go out anywhere, stay in a close area with anyone, leave your house ever again


because were all going to die

here some facts on the reg flu

between Jan and April of this year there were 36,000 deaths in the us

Around the world annually there usually around 250,000 to 500,000 deaths from flu

The swine flu is only a huge thing because it is new and there is no protection. It may be a little more serve then other flus but it is a flu. The media love these stuff because they freak people out so they keep reading and watching the news.

considering theres like 30k deaths from the regular flu evey year.

Do you go outside without fear of dying from the flu? most people do. I feel bad for anyone who died from the swine flu, but there really havnt been that many.


basically if your not scared of the flu, getting struck by lightning, and your able to go outside your house without freaking out

u should be good to go.

the hysteria aspect is lame. they hyped the shit out of the bird flu, media went nuts  and nothing relaly happened with that.

im not worried.

if your scare hide under your bed, dont leave your house, dont let anybody inside, dont even call anybody(it mutated to be able to go through phonelines now) then youll be safe while the rest of the world gets infected......

ppl who die from the flu have bad immune system... most likely babys and old ppl... or ppl with cancer and stuff like that.. if your healthy your gonna be fine.. its wayyyy over exagerated...

retarded comment
people are dying all over mexico and it's spreading quickly in the US.  anyone who says that it's over hyphed is simply ignorant.   seriously i know that the hate between us is over, but that was just a retarded comment.

except for the fact that the swine flu effects the most between the ages between 13-25 because since out immune systems are so strong, we just simply do not see it coming

I would watch out, a bunch of pigs got it in Canada.  Apparently they suffered from a loss of appetite and a fever.  But they recovered in a couple of days.
