This swine flu hype is totally asinine. Every year seasonal influenza is pandemic. EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. And there are many deaths each year from seasonal flu. This past year (the 08-09 season) seasonal flu was not even treatable with tamiflu and had to be treated with relenza. Swine flu is treatable by BOTH. Everyone is freaking out for no reason, other than the fact that this strain is surfacing late and is called "swine" flu. The media should be ashamed for creating such a panic.
