I am fascinated about how much publicity is being given to the swine flu this year. Thankfully no one that I know personally has gotten it yet, and I hope that no one does. I am wondering why this flu is receiving more press than the other annual flu outbreaks that also kill lots of people! And I wonder why the flu is being called “pandemic” when the press is not reporting thousands of people being killed by it. And for Egypt to order all of their pigs to be slaughtered is simply absurd! People are not catching swine flu from pigs, for crying out loud!
