Swine Flu: Facts, Figures, and Complaints

First thing first: STOP BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE FOR THIS!!!!

Period! Stop! Shut up! CNN has the balls, I repeat, THE BALLS to say, "Twitter is promoting fear and terror over Swine Flu." Wish I was kidding. It's insane because you can't blame Twitter for promoting this: CNN has basically devoted 80% of their coverage to this! I've been watching CNN for a while, and all-day yesterday was just... insane.

Then you have Keith Olbermann and The Huffington Post saying that the GOP is to blame because they took anti-pandemic funding out of the Stimulus Bill. At the same time, that funding was put back into another bill.

So, that said, can we please, please, PLEASE stop blaming other people for this? Or, at least, the wrong people.

That said, the media has blown this entire story into proportions I can't believe! At this rate, you would think your watching clips from 28 Days Later, and how we must beware the "infected".

And GAWKER has done something great and compiled this video!

In the end, we need to realize something:

This isn't worthy of this much attention, at least not yet.

The only people who have died have been people without decent health care. The chances of you or your family dying from this are incredibly low. At the same time, this entire thing has been blown incredibly out of proportion. Just wash your hands, be smart, and you'll be fine.
