Regardless, when you live near Mexico, like I do, it is a read threat. Additionally, I live near the barrio. Am I paranooid? Well, I am not about to join the ranks of Howard Hughes, but I am using lots of Purell!
Hand sanitizers have shown to be a key contributing factor to the growth and mutation of bacteria and virus strains due to the organisms need to mutate and evolve into a more resistive state.
I want to know why this "real threat" is any worse than the "real threat" of regular flu which will claim 250 thousand lives this year. What scares the beegeebies out of me is not the swine flu, but the seeming inability of anyone to be able to put it into perspective. They say jump...you all say, wheres my face mask!
I defy anyone to find one single solitary article about swine flu that mentions whether or not the confirmed cases in any given area are in recovery. Why does the media continue to neglect to mention that a VERY large portion of these people are in recovery, in fact...just about all of them.
