In what world?
I dont know if you understand WHY they are concerned about this particular strain, but simply put it is one that has run rampant before and has now mutated into one they have no idea how to contain, nor how much more deadly it may become. There is a very valid reason the WHO is giving this thing their utmost attention though. ANd it aint ti line the pockets of drug companies.

Well, considering about 36,000 die in America annually from regular flu, yeah swine flu is hype.....
How many have died from the new swine flu strain that came out in April?
This article from late July says "more than 700"

This WHO article says 1800 worldwide.....

So I guess it depends who you ask....
