And where has all the press coverage of these very same thing in
"regular" influenza virii been in the past? Seriously, there is nothing
unusual or more dangerous than normal in the swine flu. It's just
another influenza, one of several thousand known ones. Actually, quite
the opposite, it is a very tame variant so far. So yes, it most
definitely is hysteria. One that brought GSK several billion dollars.
And now guess who the WHO consulted in that matter? And isn't it
interesting, that the criteria for calling out a pandemia have been
changed so that this variant of H1N1 matches it (which it did not by the
previous, longstanding criteria due to it's low mortality?).

CU,
