I am definitely more afraid of aids that this overblown thing.

That being said, I am not really afraid of either.

Difference is to get AIDS you need to have some fairly serious contact with somebody who has HIV. To get this you just need to be near somebody with it.

 

 

Yeah, I know. The difference is that aids affects you for life. At least if you get swine flu, you'll be out of your misery. But most peole have been cured of it, right?

How do you get cured of a flu virus?  Most people's bodies will destroy the infected cells, this often results in the bodies T cells eating away at your lungs lining, thus causing you to get pnuemonia.  Then there is also a possibility where a virus can cause your immune system to go into hyperactive attack mode, resulting in death in almost every possible treatment option (similar to the spanish flu).
