Swine Flu Revisited (You Still Shouldn’t Worry About It)
Wednesday, May 6, 2009
Earlier this week, I addressed why you shouldn’t freak out about Swine Flu. Given that people still have not calmed down, I thought about addressing this again with some actual statistics. (Hint: You don’t have to worry about Swine Flu for the same reason you shouldn’t worry about flying in an airplane. Unless you have Swine Flu, that is.)
However, I found some good pictures that I feel put the issue into more perspective than I think I ever could have:
Now do you see why you shouldn’t have to freak out?
Relax. Deep breath.
Worry about other things.
…Like dropbears. (Which is definitely intended to be one word.)
Bonus Material: Use Google Maps to Track Swine Flu in Real Time, Matt Bors on Swine Flu, or Read a Newsweek Article about Why you Don’t Need to Worry About Swine Flu.
