A Swine Flew?

This whole thing with the "swine flu" is getting blown out of proportion. Don't get me wrong, i know it is dangerous and everything but people are acting like this has never happened before.
Every year hundreds of people die from the flu, it is just never talked about because they don't want to put people in a panic. Sure we need to take precautions as to not getting like wash your hands, but as you know, some people take it to another extreme. My teacher was just talking to her husband who was flying out from newyork to here and he said that people broght their own surgical masks to wear on the plane. Now i don't know about you but that just seems a little ridiculous. You may disagree with me but if you do get it by some chance there is a cure for it. The only reason why those people died in Mexico was because they don't have as good of health care there and some people probably couldn't get to a hospital. My of my family's said that she went to visit her family in homestead and when she got there she went to hug her family and they put the hands up and said "ah ah swine flu." This was there daughter and she wasn't even sick, they were just kidding around but some people actually take it this far. My question is do are all these precautions such as wearing masks necessary?

  1. I think that its kind of important for all these precautions and whereabouts of the swine flu, but I also do agree on how people are taking it to serious and taking it to the next level. The only thing that matters here is that where mostly are all okay and don't have to worry about a thing. Another is that it all depends on your environment, if everyone decides to keep it clean, then we have nothing to worry about.
