Now I may be totally wrong on this but.....I am not convinced the S. flu is going going to be the pandemic here predicted. Even in Mexico it wasn't as bad as it was portrayed. Although it did have the positive outcome of greatly increasing sanitation and the awareness of more sanitary habits (accoring to DIL). I think one thing that I notice is how much the word "pandemic" can be associated with the word "panic" and how easy it is to merge those words on the unconscious level. And I wonder if some news organizations take advantage of that?
