The Fear of Swine Flu
I love the media response to swine flu – it’s hilarious. First they tell us that we’re all gonna die, then they tell us off for pulling a sickie if have flu-like symptoms. But one newspaper, in a feat of supreme doublespeak, manages to doi both at the same time! Go on, guess which one!
Of course it was the Daily Fail. Who else could manage to incite fear in the same headline as berating anyone who took time off work because of that fear? Only a Daily Mail hack.
This graph most correctly sums up the relationship between fear of swine flu and the source of information that they are relying on.
[...] hysteria over swine flu is absurd. It’s a mild thing, really, and causes fewer deaths than the normal [...]
the use of face masks and boosting your immune system by taking lots of vitamin-C is still an effective way of preventing the spread of the Swine Flu virus.
i always advice my kids to wear face masks when going into crowded areas. swine flu is really scary and i dont want my kids getting infected by it.
I have a relative who got the Swine Flu in Mexico. It is a good thing that he already recovered from this disease.
