Swine Flu.... blah blah blah

I'm sooooo tired of hearing about this probable "epidemic" disease. The numbers should speak volumes to everyone. Check this out:

Of course it is worse in Mexico where the have actually shut down the schools for a week. Hell, on eof Arsenal's players, the Mexican Eduardo was told he coldn't even come back to North London til they were sure he was clear!

There are reports 150 people have died in Mexico after contracting swine flu, but the World Health Organization has dismissed the toll - saying they've officially recorded only seven deaths and 79 cases of infection. But I've also read that the toll was 99, 78.... it varies based on the source.

WHO has confirmed 40 cases in North and South America, six in Canada, two in Spain, two in the UK and three in New Zealand.

But for the sake of argument let's say... and I know this isn't correct.. but let's just say that 200 people have died worldwide from this "pandemic".

That's 200 out of 6 BILLION. Which is approximately .000000003333% of the Earth's population.


SO WHO THE FUCK CARES!

Cigarettes kill 50% of it's users. Nobody's stark raving mad about that on the news. Then you have gun violence, cardiac arrest. All these REAL threats to health and all I hear about on the news is the blasted swine flu. I swear the news is always the same. I think the formula goes like this...


Missing white girl(age doesnt matter but kids seem to be all the rage these days) + Celebrity bullshit + certain souls unfortunate demise("if it bleeds it leads") + economic woes= People too scared and confused to really worry about actual threats and problems to their lives.

I swear some days I could just drive up to CNN center and pull a Beale good and proper like this...
