Default 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.

It's apparently turning out that the so-called "swine flu" is no worse
than the flus that pop up here every fall.

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 more like 100 - 110 in the USA. It's 3,000 WORLD-WIDE - (is that
what you meant?)

"...Deaths on America's highways in 2002 reached the highest level since
1990, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Crash-related injuries, however, hit an all-time low. Highway crashes
claimed a total of 42,815 lives in 2002, up from 42,196 in 2001...."

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.
