This has definitely turned into a media exaggeration.

I wouldn't worry over it.
i'm hearing the other way... we arent seeing the full picture yet... it might be worse than it actually is.

tests to diagnose it take 2 days. since yesterday the number of people infected went up by 91 in the US, to 100~

Did you know the good old regular flu killed over 30 000 people in the US last year? Where's the media frenzy for that?

To be honest, I don't understand why this swine flu is such a big deal? Is it that it transmits fast? This statistic is absolutely true, ~30-40k die every year from influenza.
