Oh my God, this hype. All flu's are swine flus or chicken flus. That's where flus come from!
I saw Anderson Cooper interviewing some teenager about her swine flu survival story. She was like "yeah I got sick last thursday, I had a fever of 103, and I felt bad."
"It's been 4 days. How do you feel now?"
"Fine"
...... that's because it's just a new strain of regular influenza. It will probably be pandemic because it's new and you don't have antibodies against it. "Pandemic" just means lots of people get it. There is a flu pandemic every 8-10 years. Do you remember getting the flu like 10 years ago? Yeah. I know I did. I think I was in third grade, I threw up a lot, but I didn't get an interview with Anderson Cooper.
Alerting the public like this just makes more people think they're sick with the latest killer virus. Is there a word for the opposite of placebo effect?
