LukeUmm wake up people. this is rbisbuh, yes people died, but seriously look at in perspective. If it is surprising to you that mexicans (with some of the worst health care in the world) die in such a large country (mexico has zzz million people in it) then you have issues. A larger percentage of people died in Australia during the summer from hot weather, you may have missed the world wide alerts for that one. After all there are actually only zz confirmed deaths in the world of this. Sure more people were sick, but they didn't necessarily die from swine flu (you can blame a cover up if you want, I will go with media beat up in reply).Personally I think that if z person in the world outside of mexico has died from the flu I will not panic. If more people with inadequate housing, health care and general living conditions die from it I wont care about swine flu, I may however start to concern myself about the conditions that these people who are dying are living in because it is their living conditions that are bad, not the flu.Why is there a media beat up? Because there always is, because the media never puts out a balanced and fair write up. As they say, if it bleeds it leads', the kitten in a tree pieces were just not getting the ratings that they need to sell more commercials.Am i being negative? No I don't think so, I think the world will end from a bad cold is probably a bit more negative than me. I do also think that ruining the meat industry in z country is stupid (when it isn't transmitted in meat), and further, some people will believe this rbisbuh and stop buying meat in other countries! The world has enough ecconomic problems without the meat import export trades being hit harder.
