this article discusses how Americans are overreacting to the swine flu and how that is causing more problems. The article states ""We have people without symptoms going into the emergency rooms asking to be screened for swine flu at the expense of people with real illness," said Cathy Gichema, a nurse in Pikesville, Maryland." I know this is true everywhere and i have personal experience with this. My mom is an ER nurse in down town Chicago and every night the waiting rooms are flooded with people who are think they have swine flu, and when they told they don't have it and they have strep they are disappointed. (that is just wrong) Now people who really need to be seen in the ER go from having a short wait to have an extremely extremely long wait. I know people have died in Mexico and 1 boy did die here but the boy had underlying issues that did not help and he got the Mexican strain of this flu. I think everybody needs to calm down and just take the basic percautions and we need to just wait it out.
