Yes, first it was Mad Cow Disease, then SARS, then Bird Flu and now Swine Flu.
It's like the Olympics, one comes around every couple of years. What next? Dog Flu?
It's ridiculous sensationalism. Maybe a dozen or so people will die in total, nothing compared to the death toll from 'plain old' diseases like AIDS.
Don't hold your breath people.

Lets hope now the virus has been identified it can be fought

There's no vaccine at the moment, is there? Good to know the whole family was isolated - better safe than sorry.
For such a supposedly big thing, it's not as huge as when you take away the media hype.

Well there is a vaccine that works for the flu, and might work for a lot of people with this kind of virus too. That's what people are talking about.

there is this Tamiflu vaccine that people bought like crazy when the bird flu was spreading around. Doctors say it works on this swine flu pretty well.
There's another one been mentioned but it slipped my mind
