No? How about the comment italicized below that's been posted on the Hot Air blog, where there is a lively discussion about the relative strength of swine flu versus other viruses:

First US swine flu death reported in Texas

Check the Comments section at the bottom, where you'll see this posted comment by MaiDee, a comparison of swine flu to annual influenza deaths:

So far the grand total of deaths from all these “new” killer viruses in the past 20 years combined including Hanta, Ebola, West Nile, SARS, Machupo, Avian Influenza, Marburg and now Swine Flu hasn’t come close to matching the deaths from common flu in just one year in only the USA.

If we “cry wolf” enough we won’t get people to respond when a REAL medical crisis hits us.



Conversely, I would add, taking rapid action to spread awareness of killer viruses and ways to prevent contracting them may be just what is preventing a REAL MEDICAL CRISIS. I believe people in Mexico City both feel it and know it as a medical crisis, and the drastic actions taken pave the way for rapid recovery.
