...or is it blown out of proportion?

Better to be safe than sorry? people have died from it, remember

I heard the World Health Organisation has declared it has become a pandemic.

yes, it took our minds off economy for a whole month.

knock knock...

The WHO declared the Swine Flu a pandemic, moving the alert level to Phase 6. The World Health Organization this morning acknowledged what many health experts have been saying for weeks: The outbreak of novel H1N1 virus is now a pandemic. In a letter sent to its member countries, the WHO said it is officially raising its infectious diseases alert to Phase 6, its highest level, in recognition of the fact that the virus is now undergoing communitywide transmission in Australia as well as in North America. Such spread in two distinct regions of the world is the primary criterion for raising the alert level.

It's just a pandemic. It's still not deadly, it's still not even very serious. I think with things like this, there's always a need to be cautious.

But it was handled really badly, which has resulted in a whole crapload of people thinking it's deadly and it's sweeping across the globe killing hundreds of people.

Which is not true.

Blowing it out of proportion, imo. It's completely unecessary.

I think the swine is still very serious because it is a new strain and such but I think it was just made into such a big deal because the media got sick of talking about our economy! Anybody agree?

Ofcourse it is justified, especially if you live in a state where the schools are over run by immigrants and you kid is constantly getting warning from the school about diseases that run rampid in 3rd world countries like mexico. Leprosy, TB, Hepatitis, whooping cough all making a comeback because of illegals. When you kid gets sick and either dies or you have to pay extra for medical bills, yeah it's totally justified to be upset.

I wondered when the "blame the immigrants!" retards would show up.

Yes, it's the immigrants' fault. It can't possibly be white people who go on vacation and spread disease faster because of country-hopping. No, it's gotta be immigrants.
