Swine Flu
Swine flu is a popular subject of discussion lately. Tens of thousands of people had it, and hundreds have died worldwide. Sometimes, when it
is discussed, it sounds like a plague.
So, what's the fuss about swine flu? It's just flu, for crying out loud. It's not deadlier than any other type of flu. The press doesn't tell
us about all the people that die from other types of flu just because there's nothing new in them. If you're usually a healthy person, swine
flu will not do you any serious harm. You will get over it in a short time. If you're usually a sick person, you're sick anyway. There will be
no difference if you have swine flu or not.
I'm not telling you to forget about swine flu. Just don't get hysterical about it. Protect yourself from it the same way you protect yourself
from any other disease. Keep your hygiene. If you are in a risky condition, obese, pregnant or old, consult a doctor.
I've seen a TV program about a Mexican boy who was the first human being known to have swine flu. He was ill for a short while, but he got over
it. He looks excellent now. He became a hero in his town. What a way to be famous!
I've heard that the virus' origin is in pigs, but it's not only pigs' problem today. You don't need to live around pigs to get swine flu. Even
though, in Egypt and in Jordan, two Muslim countries in the Middle East, the governments decided to terminate all the pig populations in their
countries. Let me tell you something: Muslims don't eat pigs. It's a religious thing, just like the Jews don't eat pigs either. So why do they
grow pigs in Egypt and Jordan? There are minorities of Christians in these countries that do eat pigs, and they rear them too. The governments,
which don't support religious equality or the freedom to rear animals, decided to give the minorities a kick in the ass.
Meanwhile, here in Israel, the government is concerned about getting the vaccine, just enough for the people that are in a risky condition.
The government doesn't seem to be hysteric at all, at least not as much as the press is trying to make out of it.
I’m not worried from swine flu. You shouldn't be either.

Did you hear about the woman who developed Dystonia from a regular flu shot? Very scarey!

Who takes a shot for a regular flu? Unnecessary!

Did you know the swine flu was common in 1912.
