[nabs-l] swine flu outbreak

[priscilla]

 hello,
I wouldn't be worried at all cause the flu is nothing new to me since I get 
it often.
+ the public is so consumed into buying into whatever  the government has to 
say in the news as a type of sensationalism.
I feel that this causes a great  gap in the economy by the loss of business 
profits and many people being scarcely played due to closings of work places 
and intense fear of being sick.
Not only the economy suffers from losses, but children are being deprived of 
having a much more valuable education in Mexico because schools are closed 
due to the fear of epidemics there as well as numerous strikes in terms of 
salaries and laborers etc.
Also, I think this is a hoax that the government is trying to place on the 
media in order to further deepen the current economic recession which is 
causing the economy to get fragile.

also it seems to me that the medical community is doing all kinds of 
experiments in laboratories by creating viruses and using them as pranks in 
order to fool the public.
I am not trying to sound  like a person who is to idealistic, but the point 
that I am trying to convey here is that this so called epidemic of the flu 
is just a part of another drama experiment that is made by the government to 
put everyone including the cdc in an uproar.
we are not in 1918 where the flu has killed millions of people, we are in 
2009 where medicine is advanced and there are a  lot of options for those 
who want prevention against the flu.
and to make it worse, I think that having face masks on all the time is 
ridiculous especially when going to public churches and stuff because you 
get sick anyway so there is no point.
same thing for the salmonella outbreak on the pistachios which was yet 
another cause of huge drama followed by losses of millions of dollars of 
profits in ice cream companies, as well as those who are in charge of the 
distribution of such products.
until further tests or any other strong evidence is confirmed about those 
cases of any kind of ailments caused by recalled products or any epidemic 
that has been tested fore, I will ignore the whole biased sensationalism.
 I still ate them and did not get sick so what are they trying to prove 
here.
I have had the flu tons of times, even in the summer, why are people so 
hysterical and making a big scene out of that, its no different.
I just hope I am not bashing anyone or being rude, and if I offended some 
people, I sincerely apologize for that.
But, it is my personal opinion.
so if I were to choose over walking around with masks on just because I 
heard about a supposed outbreak of the swine flu, I would ignore it, but if 
everyone else wants to buy on what the government wants the public to hear, 
well go ahead it is up to everyone.
everyone has there own choice and the right to make any decision.
so, if I were to travel to Mexico with friends or family, I would still go 
on a nice summer vacation.

I hope everything goes well and that everyone does good on finals and stays 
healthy and that I haven't caused any type of heated arguments.

Thank you very much.

Good day,
