Read the story if you must, but this post isn’t about Swine Flu.  This is about how ridiculous the mass hysteria is:

US Confirmed Cases: 141  US Population: 306,000,000.  That comes to 0.00000046%.

World Confirmed cases: 331  World Population: 6,777,000,000.  That comes to 0.000000048%.

For the record, I’m all about precaution and I think it’s great that people are aware of the issue and being safe. But stop the raging bullshit scare tactics.  Haven’t we been through this before with Avian Flu and SARS?  Every other year there is something.  The media needs to CHILL.THE.FUCK.OUT on this issue. Continue your daily lives people, and just be hygenic and mindful of germs. Oh yea, and try not to let any pigs sneeze or cough on you on your way home.
