I think people are panicking too much. Even the European Union leaders are already telling their people to restrict travel to the US. I doubt that will stop anything sine its already being found in the UK. This going to affect tourism in a lot of places.

Of course everything must be political and now Israel says they do not want to call it "Swine Flu" but the "Mexican Flu" while the Mexicans are saying that they do not want to be stereotyped with having it called "Mexican Flu" - who cares - it kills the SAME way no matter how you call it!

People will seize all sorts of things to make a political point. I think it is unfortunate that Israel wants to associate it specifically with Mexico, but I do understand their desire not to have then "swine" in it either. Can you imagine how some of the more reactionary elements of Judaism will act when they find out that their neighbors have "swine" flu?

I also think that the excessive hype around this is political in nature. By creating a major crisis, fueling a panic, governments are able to enact more intrusive regulations.

This is not to denigrate the seriousness of the subject, since it does cause death. But the panic actions of so many governments causes me to seriously question whether or not they are using this situation.

I believe too many people are panicing for no reason. Last time that people paniced over the Flu that was supposed to spread world wide it never happened. Right now there is too few cases being reported for it to be a mass panic. If people just took some common safety measures they can lessen their chances of getting it. The biggest thing they can do is wash their hands with soap often.
