Similar to SARS nonsense in which 700 people worldwide died over the course of a year - it's so inconsequential to the point of absurdity. Here's some figures about the current non event from the BBC news "The number of flu cases under observation in Mexico has reached 1,614. Swine flu was confirmed in 20 of the 152 deaths" out of 152 12% of deaths by "swine flu" In the U.S alone 36,000 people a year die of regular flu - be curious to know what the stats are on deaths in Mexico from flu annually http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/disease.htm when 20,000 people drop dead in a day - then I'd be concerned - 20 people? Come on Swine flu nonsense.
