What a bunch of bull crap!

I've been saying this since the end of the first week of this supposed flu outbreak. The number of new incident cases in the various countries around the world was not indicative of a strain that was on a course to create a global pandemic. With the exception of the initial deaths in Mexico, this strain has proven to be no worse than the typical seasonal influenza. The World Health Organization and the "Popular Media" need a swift kick in the ass over this one. Almost as bad as all of the Y2K hype!
In today's age of global media, it is even more important than ever to have objective, rational, and researched news reporting. Enough hyperbole already!! There are enough fear-mongers out there, we don't need the mainstream news organizations to jump on the bandwagon.
