Swine Flu Ferver

The outbreak of a type of Swine Flu in Mexico is rightfully a cause of concern. But just look at this Headline on the Yahoo homepage.

" Pandemic 'could kill 750,000'
Over a million people could end up in hospital and 750,000 killed if a flu pandemic sweeps the nation, according to a government paper. » More
UK human-to-human results due ".

This is research fom a paper completed last year and was talking about a supposed virilant flu bug that could reek havoc on the UK or any country. The current swine flu seems to be centred in Mexico and seems to dilute the further away you get from there. It is serious and should have headlines devoted to it, b ut this alarmist type of headlines dont help in any shape.
