Swine Flu Deaths and the Media

The official explanation for this unusual disparity is that the initial reports were only suspected cases. But what made these cases suspect in the first place? Did these 159 unfortunate Mexicans die of respiratory disease or not? Apparently, Mexico doesn’t have the facilities to isolate and confirm cases of swine flu. Samples have to be sent to the United States to be verified and confirmed.

If that’s the case how could such a furor have been stirred up about something that wasn’t real at the time? Before the media got on the swine flu bandwagon shouldn’t someone have verified the numbers?

  1. Media has really done a turn around about swine flu. The disease is begining to gather momentum now and they're still not covering it adequately. The death rates are still too small to warrant concern.
