Swine flu may not be as scary as we thought

We should take every precaution to prevent the spread of swine flu. However, let us not be scared to death by the media hype over this strand of swine flu influenza. This lethal threat of Swine flu may be far less serious than some early reports would have us believe
According to Reuters:
Mexico cut its suspected death toll from the H1N1 flu to up to 101 from as many as 176, as dozens of test samples came back negative. Fewer patients with severe flu symptoms were also checking into hospitals, suggesting the infection rate of a flu that has spread to Europe and Asia was declining.
The World Health Organization said on Saturday 15 countries have reported 615 infections with the new swine flu virus A-H1N1, widely known as swine flu. Italy later confirmed its first case, a man in the Tuscany region who returned from Mexico on April 24. He has recovered.
Almost all swine flu infections outside Mexico have been mild. The only death in another country has been a Mexican toddler who was taken to the United States before he fell sick.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agreed the outbreak may not be as severe as it looked a few days ago, citing many mild cases that were not immediately noticed.
This does not mean we should not be cautious of H1N1 swine flu. This Flu is a new strand and we cannot be certain what it might do or how it might act. It does, however, mean we need not be scared stiff.
