For all you whoa re freaking out about Swine Flu, a few facts.

1.) This isn't the first outbreak (First one on record was in 1918, most recent before now in 2007.
2.) We have had 1 fatality nationwide and 1 case (reported, but not officially) (as of yesterday afternoon) in Minnesota. No reason to over react and CLOSE SCHOOLS!
3.) We are a little better prepared to handle this then Mexico.
4.) There are bigger things to worry about then illnesses that can be stopped by people doing things they should be doing anyways, like covering their mouth when they cough and washing their hands well.
5.) Could be a CDC conspiracy blowing this out of proportion so they get more money
6.) "Oh No! 41 (not sure the actual number, but there were 40 +1 possible in MN) cases of Swine Flu in the US!!!!" Yeah, because that is so much of a crisis compared to the 233 cases of Malaria that were reported in New Your City in 2007 alone (state total: 326. MN had 28. Info from here)
7.) With Obama spending more in his first 60 days in office (4 times as much if I remember right) then Bush did in his last three years, should we really be concerned about this? After all, by the time this actually does reach epidemic proportions, the country will be out of business (good thing we can always just print more money to fix our problems. Too bad if I were to do that it would be a crime.)
