Pills, pills, and More pills,
I'm as sick as a parrot.

Swine Flu Hype.
Ever since the craze of the pandemic of swine flu, it shows how human behaviour get hyped up about something we are told over the media about something some of us don't really know about.
Over the last week, we saw the pandemic of swine flu rise to 787 people across 17 countries due to the spread of the virus.
I am very alert about the news on flu as I am considering going on holiday to Spain where there have been cases of people with the virus.
The question I am concerned with is if it is healthy to inform people on severity of the disease being as the World Health Organisation (WHO) are not even sure themselves how much widespread it can become. It is adamant to stay vigilant to help sustain the levels of people getting the disease. But the education we have been receiving should be something we should practice in our everyday lives, and not just to help eradicate and prevent the spread of swine flu.
At the moment, the swine flu is at phase 5 where large amount have been discover but remains localised. But according to WHO it looks like it will disperse into phase 6, where the virus can spread amongst people globally. This makes the swine flu pandemic unhealthy.
