Interesting article.
I can’t understand why we are being led into fear by this swine flu. It reminds me of how we were told the same thing about mad cow, and bird flu. It is a fact that hundreds if not thousands of people die from all kinds of flu each year. What about malaria, , where a million people die every year. And a child dies of starvation every couple minutes. Why are these things not reported as epidemics?
You are right, exist many diseases and many situations that estan ending the humanity to which importance is reduced to them. You know, you finish thanking to me to an idea… to write.
