    Symptoms are similar to the common flu. I have heard tamiflu works in most cases.

    I love how 8 people get "mildly sick" and we have a "public health emergency"

    What do you think the odds are that this "crisis" will require a $600bil. health
    care reform bill to save us from it ???

    "killed a bunch of people" ........ as in 80 ....... or 0.00000001% of the population of Mexico

    I figure the media and government have to modes of operation

    1. Ignore it

    or

    2. Run around like a chicken with its head off screaming the sky is falling

    Well I bet if this affected you or someone in your family you would be singing a different tune. Its true the media blows things out of proportion but its also not something to take lightly.

    Not saying it should be taken lightly.

    It is a Health "Risk"

    80 dead in Mexico and 8 "mildy" sick in U.S. is not an "public health emergecy" as stated
    by White House or an "epidemic" as stated by CNN/Fox and every news chnl.

    The fear mongering these people dose out for better ratings
    and popularity polls does no good

    Last time everyone ran around over blowing the situation with fear, it cost $3 Trillion in useless bank bailouts.
