North America and Europe can EASILY combat the swine flu. Medicine will be a lot better in the future, and if we can battle H1N1 now, evolutions of it will be combattible hopefully.

Neither does apple and milk. D:


QUOTE
Make people frightened and they'll be more careful, which potentially means fewer people getting sick and fewer people dying.

Insecto: Until panic over the pandemic starts killing people, I think that it's safe to say that we should be more afraid of the illness. :P


Looking at your first sentence, I was going to say that panic does kill people. If not, it greatly increases stress, negativity and gives you ill health! D:< If only people could be more careful yet not panic at the same time...

Next Black Plague, eh? I think it's just an overreaction. Yes, people have died, but with proper medical treatment (which the vast majority of us have access to) and you'll be fine. smile It's nothing big, just basically a flu...with explosive diarrhea =D

You know where most people have died? IN MEXICO, a 3rd world country. In other words, they have poor health care, and a poor government.

Why people have died elsewhere? They had other health problems.

I had the flu once, I was deathly sick, and I'm still alive today, 6 years later. The swine flu is even less deadly, so there's nothing to worry about.

People that have died from swine flu in total: less than 300 people.
People that die from heart problems in Canada each day: 300 people.

So really, it's WAY overrated.

CASE CLOSED!

Nearly 30,000 confirmed cases, over 145 people died, and the WHO(World Health Organization) has declared it a "Global Pandemic".

(source cnn)

"As of Friday, 29,669 cases of the H1N1 virus have been reported in 74 countries, the WHO said. The total number of deaths worldwide has reached 145."

GOKUNAI: You're teacher had SWINE FLU? Why the heck is he at a SCHOOL, with a VIRUS, that can be EASILY spread to OTHERS?

Yep it's now confirmed a pandemic. Though the government refuse to take further action unless more severe cases emerge. The thing is, the death victims of H1N1 are not only infected with H1N1 but in combination with other illnesses/diseases such as lung disease, heart infections, etc. So the number of people who died ONLY by the cause of H1N1 - nothing else; with no other combinations of sicknesses - are quite low.
