From the Article: "Ordinary flu kills about 250,000 to 500,000 people each year."

And how many people have died from Swine flu so far? About a hundred? I just don't understand the fearmongering going on. It's one thing to be prepared, but every time I turn around it's "Somebody has a suspected case of swine flu, run for the hills!"

  No kidding. They claim it spreads from country to country by air travel. Yet, they have decided to keep all of the airports open without travel restrictions. More media hype.
