The media needs to chill out. We hear “confirmed case” like somebody’s on death’s door. Most of these people have all been sick a week ago and are recovering well.>
Its the Flu. People get it. Feel awful for a while, and get better.
Then articles write ponderingly why “so many more people died in Mexico.” Are they really that dumb or just trying to be sensitive by acting ignorant? Its cause ITS MEXICO. Their health care is not up to par with ours. And its still less deadly than the mexican bullet flu (credit to the Daily Show).
Seriously, people need to chill.
