Agreed. This is all media hype. Not 1 person has died from this in all of North America (considering Mexico as Central America). Thousands of people die from the flu daily on this continent but the media does not hype that or the flu vaccine; whereas a different strain with an exotic name that hasn't proven to be overly dangerous gets all this attention. Makes no sense. Same thing happened with SARS and West Nile.
