It seems the media is on a feeding frenzy with any type of news that they blow completely out of proportion. If it is really as bad as the media says it is, the Mexican borders would be closed. Also, I would advise against flu shots - does anyone really know what is in them? I completely agree with you Alex.

Also, I would advise against flu shots – does anyone really know what is in them?

So here comes a slightly different flu that has caused the death of one infant in the US, which sadly can happen even with the seasonal flu if not treated properly. All other confirmed cases have completely recovered, even the mexican child who was the first confirmed case of this new strand. So you have to ask yourself .... Why is this such a huge media feeding frenzy? Maybe the same reason they went crazy about the africanized killer bees that never showed up. P.S. Don't be such a douche bad, I really don't think god sends people to hell for writing an opinion piece that still tells people how to use caution.

There just may be a special place in hell for whoever wrote this garbage. Well I guess time will tell if this disease is more serious than you make it sound .. and for the already dead and dying it is indeed serious. What about the health workers vaccinated in Mexico City who died within days of the virus anyway? What about the reality that most countries only carry enough for maybe 5% of the population to anoculate with tamuflu ??? What about the fact that in one months time we now have 11 countries confirmed and the death of a 23 mo old in Houston (who came from Mexico I agree)... have you been to Texas? The trade back and forth from Mexico is restricted, but still moving and no restrictions have been put on world travel. I hope your right and I'm wrong, but I would rather stay on the side of caution than to be so frivolous with lives as this article seems to suggest to be. You’ve got to be kidding me.
