me and my 3 kids have this but my youngest who is 17 months has been hit the hardest the doctors are saying there is nothing they can do so why bother reporting on this when it wont make a difference to those of us losing loved ones because of how severe this is how about you guys do something to prevent this from taking over our society like the flu did in the early 1900's and the black plague before that we have all of this technology lets make use of it and start finding cures for diseases not just act like we are. i know too many people who have died already from influenza and even common colds. lets put our brains together and figure soemthing out there has to be a cure out there. we dont live forever you know so let us get the most that we can by curing these ailments

The serious thing about the scariest two biological threats of the 20th and 21st century -- anthrax and swine flu -- is that they can be traced to American Labs.
"It is also interesting that 2 of the 3 flu pandemics of the last century - the 1918 Spanish Flu and the 1976 swine flu scare - both started at military bases. Specifically, the 1918 flu started at Fort Riley, Kansas. The 1976 swine flu started - and never spread beyond - Fort Dix, New Jersey. It is unclear whether or not those bases conducted defensive biowarfare research."

We know that Industrial Anthrax came from here (the U.S., although I doubt it was a one man job).

Maybe Newsweek should do an article about traffica fatalities in the U.S., after all, traffic fatalities are much worse than the swine flu and they're easily preventable too. Introducing a fleet of vehicles which lack mud flaps, have extra wide bodies to hinders others line of site, come standard with tinted windows that block others line of site, and are overweight for no good reason is a good way to keep doctors, lawyers and auto body shops in business though.
Newsweek is such crap.

I find it very sad media still use the mis-named 'Swine Flu' when reporting about H1N1 Flu. The CDC realized their mistake when naming it incorrectly the first time - people mistakenly believe they can put themselvs at risk for the virus by eating pork as a result. Our hog farmers are going broke in Missouri, losing money on every hog they sell since the first news story broke. H1N1 is not a food-borne illness, and yet you and many others continue to call in 'Swine Flu' - are you aware you are ruining the livlihoods of many hard-working people?
