Enough of this alarmist nonsense already.

Ebola virus, SARS virus, swine flu and now a duck flu (again).

You can only cry wolf so many times.

You never know when its doing to be the real thing though. Better to be told when there's a possibility than to find out once a pandemic has begun that, "oh, hey guys, there's a pandemic already on the go. We could have maybe prevented it by warning people to stay away from country x when we first found out about it, but we didn't want to alarm you." Covering up an outbreak is never a good idea.

Did you already forget the swine flu mass hysteria?

Did you not notice the hyperbole in the article you quote?

"even more deadly", "Why experts are so worried", "it gets really worrisome", "more and more dangerous", "global concern", "particulary worrying", "severity and speed" "extremely resistant", "no vaccine".

That is mental rape. I want to vomit.

There's absolutely no proportions whatsoever in that article.

The Swine flu made are government look like an idiot.

He brought something around 3 mil vaccines ( Thats a lot for a 7 mil population) and only a small amount of people took it. Whats wrost is that it negatively  affected a couple pregnant mothers health.

What country is that with 7 million?

My country Sweden looked like a complete idiot too, I think it was the worst country in the whole world in this debacle, by ordering vaccine to the whole population (pretty much) and the fear was so big here that people stood in long lines to take it (because media spread a rumor there wouldn't be enough vaccine lol). The result was that hundreds of kids got severely handicapped by getting narcolepsy as a side effect from the vaccine.

Its a city, Hong Kong.
