The last time the media instilled any sense of fear in me was with the anthrax scare. I was diligent in my steps to be alert of its presence. Yeah, the potential of a terrorist threat was coupled with that fear, amplified by the fact that I lived in the San Francisco Bay (a reasonable target for terrorists, especially the bridges). I think the biggest difference in my reaction from the masses was that I did not look to the government for a solution. I started training, running a mile or more a day and planning response to possible attacks. They never came. I have strong doubts that I would ever involve myself in militant operations outside of our borders, however I will remain an ardent defender of this land in which I was born. I am willing to sacrifice a small segment of our population in an attempted invasion (estimated at less than the number of US troops lost in Iraq) in the time it would take to respond, however I fail to see an argument against the idea that our naval forces flanking our ocean borders would not stifle if not stop any impending invasions. I wonder if this swine flu has more to do with the democrat's desire to enact a single-payer health care system. I don't particularly buy into that, but what I find most interesting is that this is another example of the "band-aid approach" to problems. I wish more people would listen to Ron Paul than Obamarama. I share Paul's view that we need to start dealing with root problems rather than patching the symptoms. One of these days all those bandages are going to fall off and the wound below will be horribly infected. Improving your diet and exercise are the most (cost) effective approaches to a healthy immune system, not loading your body with drugs. I'm sick of the supply side of the market having precedent. People, you should be FREE. That means you should make decisions for your own damned selves. Your demand should drive the market. And many people, especially baby boomers have been sold that somehow spending money is GOOD. The economy is only good for the rich. The economy is practically meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Go help your fellow man instead of crying about how bad off you have it. We're all in this together and as long as you see yourself as independent from the whole, you are living a lie. www.sgilibrary.org I vote for “Just makin bakin.” The last time the media instilled any sense of fear in me was with the anthrax scare.

What hysteria, other than in the media? The Mexican government did the right thing, telling people to stay home and closing schools, big events, etc. that would tempt people to be out until things are under control. W.H.O. warns this is a virus that is easily spread, asks public to be responsible to prevent the predictable results of a pandemic. And it appears to be working ok. A ploy of big Pharma? They'd sell a helluva lot more drugs if millions actually GOT sick. Oh, for god’s sake. What hysteria, other than in the media?

It's a slippery slope because I think the media broadcasting this 24/7 really has contributed to this 'potential' imaginary pandemic...but one might argue that news channels are doing their respective jobs by providing followers with a forewarning of this health issure. Bottom line is they need to find a happy medium and realize that too much coverage will lead to even greater problems than the flu itself! Great post!
