Not going to lie, but the Media is making this whole thing bigger then what it is.

So people worldwide are dying of something that people normally don't get sick from and the media is making too big of a deal out of this?

Not saying people shouldn't be prudent, but I agree.

The pork market is dropping because of the name...

**Dave19642006** · 04-29-2009, 11:48 AM

I know Vilask stated that "Swine flu has nothing to do with pork"

And Egypt is ordering all hogs killed.

Egypt orders slaughter of all its 300,000 pigs as swine flu precaution, infuriating farmers -- chicagotribune.com

People are stupid.

I wouldnt be surprised if Perry, Marshalltown, or Ft. Dodge has the next case

**Dave19642006** · 04-29-2009, 11:50 AM

I'm not saying it isnt a problem world wide but its only in certain areas, but its just like the bird flu and madcow bullcrap, "oh no were in trouble in the united states!" I'm sick of the media. It's bad in mexico sure, but there has been one death in the US so far, which was a 23 month old, yet the media makes it like were having hundred dying every ten minutes. It a bit annoying, i'm surprised fox news hasn't started blaming Obama and the liberals for this, hannity would have a field day. Thats just my opinion, bless those who have it, but media is making far bigger deal out of it then it is.

My guess is that this is not so much a preventitive health measure, sounds more like an opportunity to persecute the Christian minority in Egypt. (the majority of the population doesn't eat pork)
