Swine Flu - Your Thoughts

I'm interested to find out what you think about Swine Flu.

So far its been announced on many news channels as an epidemic, a pandemic, and the WHO has announced its fears (or hopes) that it could kill millions.

Anyone who visits this site knows how this world works. There are no accidents. "Swine Flu" is quite a novel name. From my perspective its almost laughible that the masses are taking this new disease in their stride when there have been so many others with equally ridiculous names.

But thats not to take away from the seriousness of this. It has now spread worldwide and is being broadcasted on almost every major news station.

On one News clip they said "We would advise against going out and getting a mask, but instead concentrate on 'hand washing' " ... Hand washing? They are advising against the best precaution against the spread of this disease and substituting it with hand washing?
