Utah swine-flu deaths at 14

Of course no one in the media dare report the full picture because that wouldn't sale newspapers. Our media sure does seem to be leaning towards tabloid style news over true honest journalism.
Now we have seen with H1N1 how quickly a new strain of flu propogates itself around the world literally in a few weeks.
If you thought people were scared of swine flu, just wait until the deadly bird flu mutates... Even Tamiflu does not help with it...
Get your food storage up to spec now!
In fact, stop GOING to Church!
Church is the ideal social situation for spreading diseases!
Good ol' handwashing is key. Wash thoroughly with soap before you eat or touch your face. And OF COURSE after using the bathroom! If you wash your hands in a public restroom, use a paper towel, or put your hand in your pocket, to open the door. Eating out? Keep silverware on a spare napkin instead of their table.
At your desk, keep pens out of your mouth and clean your phone regularly with antiseptic wipes. Of course, don't eat at your desk (who knows how many germs your keyboard and chair are harboring) unless all you do is eat without touching anything between bites! Stay out of the office candy dish, too.
Go to church and shake hands. Live your life! Just learn preventive hygiene to stay healthy. Such habits will help you avoid more than the swine flu (think colds, regular flus, etc.) So wait to eat those fast food fries until you get home and wash!
I was not talking about H1N1.
I was just saying, stop shaking hands at Church and stop going to Church.
The diseases that are spread at Church are MENTAL, not biological!
Is it worse than regular flu? Probably not, but we've never had regular flu more than once or twice and the vaccine is for that strain. We'll stand in line for a shot for this strain when it comes out, as it was really pretty frightening, especially the fever.
Keep reporting on this DN. Informed people want to know about epidemic viruses!
Although, it doesn't have the media hoopla it did in the past, this flu is scary as it can afflict the young and old.
