First, there was bird flu.

Then everything but the kitchen sink got contaminated with salmonella.

And now we have the swine flu.

I swear to god I don't know what's worse: the fact that the media is blowing this latest outbreak of some virus/bacteria WAY out of proportion (seriously, you'd think the world were ending if yoiu listened to the way the media's describing the thing - outbreak, pandemic, catastrophe ); or that I'm seriously going to be walking around for the next few weeks afraid of anyone who so much as scratches their nose due to the media scaring the bajesus out of me.

We Americans are either blowing things out of proportion, or not giving things the attention that they deserve. There is no 'in between'.

U. S. of Assholes.

We are. Admit it.

You're not wrong, Miss Katie.

There is definitely some scaremongering going on-I think the media is just happy to have a story without the words "toxic asset" in it.

But unfortunately, I know just enough virology to know there is a chance this could kill a lot of people.
