Swine Flu Death #4

The worldwide death toll for the "Swine Flu" has now reached 70 with the 4th recorded death in the United States. A forty year old Arizona woman with a preexisting lung condition recently contracted and died from Swine flu. The other three US deaths include a Mexican toddler and a pregnant woman from Texas, and a thirty year old man from Washington, all with preexisting medical conditions.

My notes on the subject: First and foremost, MASKS DON'T HELP. Virus particles are tiny and can easily fit through the holes in a surgical mask. The only thing you're doing is making yourself look foolish. Secondly, it is not any more dangerous than the regular seasonal flu. Thousands of people die every year from the flu, and it's overlooked simply because the virus didn't mutate. Uniformed people heard of a virus mutation and began to spread false information because they didn't understand how viruses work. It is only life threatening IF you have a preexisting condition that would somehow compromise your immune system.
