All WHO have done is suggest washing your hands and staying home if you felt sick. They've never said anything anything about it being a grave threat to humanity.

Um yeah. Whoever wrote that article doesn't know what they're talking about seeing as WHO officials have come out and said not that many people have died/are infected and they have no idea where the fictitious casualty count came from. They've also said in the same rumor-disproving statement that people just needed to wash their hands and stay home when they're sick. I still don't know who said it was a grave threat to humanity and I'm more inclined to believe it's another lie in the news cycle then anything else.

are you really? i'm inclined to think they say this **** when something like the swine flu comes up, so just in case it does get completely out of hand, they can say they told us. they may have since rescinded that comment, but it was made nonetheless.

The only sources for the comment come from sites that horrendously exaggerate the infection/death count. They're the ones doing the scaremongering not the World Health Organization.

the news needs to start talking more about celebrities or something instead of failing to hype the swine flu. Seriously, i don't think anybody really cares anymore.

There will always be gullable people out there who believe everything & anything the media throw at them. Thats why they sell so many papers.
Its pathetic, the elderly, who are supposed to be the 'wisest' of our generation, buy papers religiously and read them as if its the holy word on everything.
To me I dont need to know about rape, murder, death, psychos, pedos,hyped flu viruses, nonsense about **** bands/artists/'music', celebrities, filmstars, popstars, and just general crap and nonsense which you find in the papers.
Also do you actually crave news about 'celebrities'???

I can imagine you sitting there shouting at the tv ("Oh!, please tell me which Popstar flashed her pussy getting out of a car this week!!").
