  • omg swine flu. i remember when that was around in the 90s, and no one gave a crap about it.

    heres how to avoid it: common sense.

    THE WORLD IS DOOMED!

  • 44 deaths world wide!! OMG!!! Run for your life!!! oh wait a minute, what's the big deal again?? More people get struck by lightning every year than that. 44 people out of 6 BILLION is 0.00000007.33 percent of people have died. That's such an amazingly low probability of dying that I can't believe anyone would waste their time on this. Unless scaring people was the goal... in which case they better kill more people 'cus I'm not scared yet!!!

  • Good, you suck. this looks like CDC Government sponsored bullshit. totally lame.

  • Personally, I would rather have the swine flu all the time instead of the seasonal flu. Yes, the swine flu was more widespread, but it's actually less lethal than seasonal flu. Also, my entire neighborhood had the swine flu during the pandemic and my family didn't get it at all.

  • @Wolfsrain90 Or the Black Plague o.o

  • Never understood why so many people were frightened by this. Now if Spanish Flu made a comeback....

  • @EmperorOfMars

    Mhm.

    Speculation + Media Attention = Worldwide Panic and Shock.

  • SWINE FLU MADE BY OCD OF NEW JERSEY

  • So a virus that has infected less that the amount killed by the common cold is a global pandemic?

  • swine flue is nothing unnormal.. the regular flue is same shit as swine flu - regular flu mutates every year, usually in the begining of winter or after the winter when humans are not so health-stable. There is only ine smart guy that get this idea to trick other humans they need a new medicine. That's not true... ;) believe me next year we will have cattleflue :D and than dogflue and than catflue and so on... ;) just a way to get more money from your pockets stupids xD
