Well, the mayor of Baltimore has created a Swine Flu Command Center based on 2 possibles having the Swine Flu. Just what are they commanding at this center Got me! I guess the mayor is jockeying for more Fed money

Holy crap. I'm browsing this site tonight, and I see already THREE "swine flu" threads on a single page. There might be more, but I stopped and entered this thread after seeing the third one down below.

Give me a break. The media is all worked up about it, and that's ok. But this hysteria goes to show how much the media is able to really influence the people all over the damn world.
The swine flu is surely bad. But there is no reason for hysteria yet.
Here's a secret: You die anyway. And some of us think this usually is when God calls home. No sooner, no later. A lot of people walked across the street and got run down by a truck, while swine flu had nothing to do with it.

Relax. Only because half the world dies, or the media thinks it does, doesn't mean YOU die. That's not up to the media, nor you, to decide.
