Panic Ensues

This year, the latest craze is swine flu.

I don't mean to make light of it. It's a scary situation - People have and will die from it. Although the deadly strains seem limited to Mexico, it does make me worry about the next pandemic that will wipe out a percentage of the population. It's coming - we just don't know when or what it will be.

But I do mean to make light of something - the media hype and ensuing public panic.

But regardless of whether you are or are not (I'm not) overly concerned about catching the swine flu, it's probably a good idea to avoid this, at least for now.
