[QUOTE="blue efficacy, post: 523492, member: 6435"] You make valid points, yes. 40 people isn't very many. However, the thing is, when you're dealing with a disease the human immune system isn't adapted to, 40 can become 4,000 which can become 4 million relatively quickly. Part of me agrees that the media is blowing it out of proportion. But another part of me also believes that we need to be kept informed on this, so that we can all be prepared to do what is necessary to keep this thing under control if the crap hits the fan. Historically, flu pandemics have caused extreme loss of life. Like President Obama says, we shouldn't be alarmed, but we should be concerned. And to all the xenophobes advocating border closure, you do realize that the cases in New York were spread by AMERICAN kids on spring break. If we are going to seal the borders, we must also ban Americans from visiting Mexico. LOL @ ham-demic comment. [/QUOTE]
