Also it's fucking over.

Seriously, the number of cases in Mexico are dwindling. And the only person outside Mexico to die of it? A 23-month old in Texas. Who was originally from Mexico. Meaning the parents were too poor to afford healthcare until it was too late. And the healthcare system in Mexico is pretty much a joke.

This is not a pandemic. It is not an epidemic. It is only technically an outbreak. And you know what? It's no more dangerous than regular flu. The only reason people are freaking out is because it's resistant to some of the treatments for the normal flu. So do you have Swine Flu? No. If you did, would you die? Not unless you live in 3rd world conditions. The only reason this has gotten such a panic reaction is thanks to the media for being bored. Like CNN, with their "TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE COULD DIE IF LEFT UNCHECKED!" comment, backed by absolutely nothing.
