Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Are we being decieved by the media hype re; the seriousness of the swine flu? How much of this is hype-- and for those familiar with the "wag the dog" movie-- is there something else going on here. I have to say that I'm fed up with the media -- I'm glad they're telling us that there is a new flu virus out there. With suppressed immune systems- if we were to get sick with anything we're at greater risk of serious illness. I'm wondering if there were 60 deaths worldwide from the "normal" strains of the flu this year? I suspect there was-- and it didn't make the news. Guys, you are all brilliant people, and since no one (except me) has brought this to topic-- I want to applaude you for not going into a panic mode. Do what we always need to do-- wash your hands. Cover your cough. Wear a mask if you know you're going out into a large public group. Drink plenty of fluids, get adequate rest. eat well. Most of all-- trust that you have the knowledge to take care and use common sense approaches to life- that are keeping you as healthy as we can be.
