Again, no one is calling this a hoax. They are just saying that it is not as serious as people are claiming. Yes it can spread very quickly, however it CAN betreated.

the presence of a "hoax" does not have to suppose the nonexistence of the thing itself.
Though others are saying statements similar to that, I hope you were referring to the vid posted and I hope you and others take the time to watch it. (esp.before adhering to any inoculations, etc.)

yes, they die from the flu everyday. but they have a cure for it, or something to prevent it. unlike the swine flu. that's why they are making a big dealout of it. so, lets stop repeating over and over "zomg half a million ppl die from the common flu every year". i mean yeah, the media is over doingit a bit, but it's kind of scary how something they have no REAL cure/prevention for is spreading so quick.

is everyone taking notice of the heavy campaigns of fear we've had in the past decade? and how they have and areaffecting/shaping society?
that's what's really concerning. (with where this may go) imo
fear is the tool of control. the tool. it manipulates will and leavesthe populace subject to those with the promise of security. that's the covert danger I'm sensing in all of this.
let's keep our heads.

Again, they DO have a cure. It can be treated with antibiotics. There is no REAL cure for the regular flu either,just antibiotics that can stop it. The SWINE FLU is unaffected by two of the four antibiotics mainly used to treat regular flu, therefore there IS A CURE. Ifyou get it it is NOT A DEATH SENTENCE.
I don't understand why people can't get this.

Shouldn't the biggest fear be if it mutates? Is it possible the strain mutates?

This is also possible. They said if it were to combine with something like Bird Flu, then it would be an airborne bird flu which would also be VERY bad. If itmutates too quickly, drug makers may not be able to create vaccines fast enough which would also be devastating. The mutation issue should be the main concern.Viruses always mutate, which means that it could possibly happen.
It is all about your immune system. While there are no cures for viruses, they can be treated with things like antiviral drugs that can help your immune systemfight off the virus.

kanye has to be pissed that he didn't get this popular this fast. this is all going to blow over in a week or two. something else is going to come up andwere all going to forget about this. the media is blowing everything out of proportion the same way they did with 9/11, the wars, and does anyone remember annanicole?
all you gotta do is watch when you sneeze and cough, wash your hands and keep living life. we all have more important problems to deal with, like rising gasand food prices, so may i say this for everyone, F THE MEDIA!!!!
