Thee World Health Organization raised the alert over swine flu to level five - one short of a full pandemic.

    Do you remember the avian flu? That had the same predictions as the swine flu…even it being a pandemic…

    8,836,045 inhabitants in Mexico City 12 confirmed deaths…lets put this in perspective…..Every year in the United States, on average:

    5% to 20% of the population gets the flu;
    more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related complications; and
    about 36,000 people die from flu-related causes.

    Make up your own mind …its a huge cover up of somthin?
    12 deaths and we are on a level 5 alert?

    440000 people die from smoking every year and all we do is raise the tax on cigs?…….get real
