Swine Flu -USA travel advisories?
I haven't seen many advisories against travel to the USA, which seems
strange as most of the swine flu cases seen in Europe at least recently have been in people arriving from the USA, not Mexico. T. |

It's apparently turning out that the so-called "swine flu" is no worse than the flus that pop up here every fall. -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |

It's hysteria. You're chance of catching, being hospitalized or dying from one of the hundreds of other varients of the flu are thousands of times higher. Your chance of dying on the highway to/from the airport or in the U.S. are more than 20,000 times higher. IE: 3000 people die in the U.S. on the highways every day. How many are dying in the U.S. from H1N1 daily? .1? |

It's apparently turning out that the so-called "swine flu" is no worse than the flus that pop up here every fall. That's euphemism at its best. Ordinary flu has claimed more than 100 times the victims and seen more than 100 times the deaths that the elitist mainstream media has agitated hysterically regarding swine flu. Worrying about swine flu is like worrying about a meteor striking your aircraft, lightning striking your stroll or volcanoes erupting under your hotel room.
