Keep the Hype In Perspective, You Swine


GOD I'm getting tired of reading about the swine flu. Enough, ok? Jesus. According to the CDC, anywhere from 13 to 52 million people get the common flu every year and roughly 36,000 people die of it every year. 36,000. Every. Year.

So far, the swine flu has around 2,000 cases and 149 deaths, but it's taken up 100% more media time than the common flu (to which there is also no cure). Let's keep it together people. Seriously.
