Swine Flu

By Beth Lessard

By Sunday, 88 cases of Swine Flu, or H1N1, had been detected and confirmed in 18 countries. The number of people who have died because of this flu was at twenty, this included one in the United States. Fear of the flu is to the max and has gotten way out of hand. People who have a cough or a stuffy nose claim that they are sidk with the swine flu. Swine Flu is not something that is easy to get rid of. This disease travels from person to person easily and attaches quickly. Many people are saying that "This is a joke compared to the other things that are going on in the world." If you think about it, 700 deaths in the whole world is nothing compared to most things. I disagree with this, I think that we really do need to watch this because 700 people can turn into 1000 people easily.
