Seriously, Enough with as Erin calls it "The Pig Flu"

Love the Houston Chronicle online since people can leave comments. I got a good laugh out of this one...

Article Title: WHO: Up to 2 billion might get swine flu

Comment with quotes from this article:
"The World Health Organization says up to 2 billion people could be infected by swine flu, if the current outbreak turns into a pandemic."
WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!!!!

WHO flu chief Keiji Fukuda says the number wasn’t a prediction

WHEW, I THOUGHT WE WERE GONERS....

Fukuda says that with a world population of 6 billion people, it’s “reasonable” to expect that kind of infection tally.

OH NO, WE ARE GOING TO DIE!!!!

He said WHO is unable to know what the future holds, and it is impossible now to say whether the pandemic would be mild or severe.

SOUNDS A LITTLE SHAKY, ARE WE ALL GOING TO DIE OR NOT?

WHO has said it believes a global swine flu outbreak is imminent, and last week it raised its alert to five, one step short of a pandemic.

NOW IT'S CONFIRMED, WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.

...This conjecture is not factual news, it's fear mongering.

too much. i'm already breaking out the duct-tape and saran wrap. In fact, why don't I just saran-wrap my whole family. That should do it. Except we'd suffocate.

Seriously, enough of the fear-mongering. Isn't there ANYTHING else to report on?
