swine flu, media , distractions

The media is all about swine flu here, swine flu there. How many people have died? 20+ ? On the other hand, take a look down channelnewsasia.com and we have...

1. Taliban, Pakistan at loggerheads over peace deal
2. Nepal in turmoil, Maoists threaten street protests
3. 29 killed in wave of attacks in south Afghanistan
4. Typhoon death toll in Philippines climbs to 25
5. 44 killed in attack on wedding party in Turkey
   

Which sums up to at least 98 deaths in a day?

They are constantly talking about how the virus killed many many people about 80 years ago and how it might have a repeat?
SO you telling me all the health scientists have not had any breakthroughs for the past 80 years?
DO they know that a missile from US or Middle East can just easily kill twice as many people?
Those bloody world health scientist, I guess they are paid millions...so from the SARS saga what the fuck have they been doing? And so now this virus has been out for 1 week and they still can't create a vaccine? Can we hold their pay till they create a cure then?
I have a theory: that its "them" who release the virus, so they can have more research funds. Or the vaccine is already created, but withhold to boost the sale of Dettol, thermometers and masks, which might happen to be their sponsors.
Simple: Just like Bill Gates and the Microsoft windows theory mar.

Its the media: they fucking around with our heads, distracting us away from the real problem. We should be worrying about global warming, depleting natural resources rather than an economic recession, or if our senior minister has chicken pox.

Gail was asking me if this flu virus is really that serious since she doesn't read/watch the news. I really don't know if I should envy her as she's free from all these mental abuse.
