The Swine Flu - Media Hype?

Well it looks like the immediate threat of a pandemic has diminished, however there is still a potentially pandemic virus out in the environment. What happens over the next year is largely a role of the dice.

However there are still actionable items that can minimize this risk to mankind. Some of these are highlighted in this video. Such as: 1)Knowledge of how viruses spread, and how to minimize their transmission. 2)Preparation for pandemic isolation and control (support for institutions such as the CDC and NHS). 3)Countering disinformation such as arguments like well the average seasonal flu kills more than the swine flu has so far, so its nothing to worry about or its all an illuminati conspiracy to control you through fear, or well there was a scare a few years ago, and nothing happened, so its safe to do nothing..

Yay, someone made a video of what I was exactly thinking. All of you who think everything is a conspiracy and it`s okay to be careless are no better than the people who thought it was the end of the world at early outbreak. Fucking christ, learn to think for yourself instead of gobbling whatever the media or even Ron Paul spews out.

Awesome video, this really allowed me to understand what "pandemic potential" means, up until now I HAD understimated the current virus (And I live in Mexico). This also shows how important free social medicine is. I can tell you, Mexico has one, but if it really had the resources it needed (resources that can be provided if you`re a first world cocuntry) the influenza would have been less severe.

By media standards, one person is equal to one billion.

That means 10 billion people have died!

i really doubt that anyone who thinks the media HAVE actually overhyped swine flu will automatically drop any form of hygeine out of spite.

The news organisations in the uk, primarily the bbc, were reporting almost 200 deaths attributed to swine flu just days after the outbreak was announced, complete with fancy graphics and a `death toll` counter on screen. While now the number seems to be around 27.
