The Swine Flu or now also known as H1N1 has had a great impact on countries world wide. Between the amount of outbreaks, the amount who died from it and the amount of panic it has caused the Swine Flu is known as to of "just begun".
I believe that the Swine Flu has caused major panic throughout the people. People have begun staying home, wearing masks and even not eating pig. To some extent people have blown this out of proportion. We have had outbreaks of different things before and it is an expected thing for the people to panic. People have a way of believing in the worst rather then in the best.
There are many known symptoms of the Swine Flu. Doctors say that as long as you detect it early it is treatable. Many people who have died from this H1N1 outbreak was because they didn't have the right care or they did not have strong amune systems. I am not saying that this isn't serious and we shouldn't take precautions but people have a way of making it bigger then what it truly is.

i totally agree with you i think people did make swine flu a really big deal. Swine flu is just like any flu and it can be treated. My cousin got very sick and the doctors said he had swine flu but since we took him to the Doctor earlier he was treated. I think its no big deal. People just need to use hand sanitizers and keep them selves clean to prevent the spread of swine flu.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you because the swine flu may not cause much damage to our bodies, nor me or you but what about my grandparents or my baby cousins, who have weak immune systems. Why are people wearing masks? To protect themselves of course and their loved ones. A parent will not want to come home and pass the swine flu to their child so they take several precautions, whether it includes wearing a mask or simply using hand sanitizer. I think it is necessary for people to be alert when there is an outbreak such as this one because people in Mexico are dying due to their lack of good health care. We should look towards improving our own healthcare and advancing in the sciences to create the right cure for flues and epidemics.
ReplyDeleteI think I had it already. Eh.
