    A few days ago we covered swine flu here on A Disease A Day, and since then a lot has happened: “Patient zero” was found, the disease spread to more countries, and the WHO have raised the pandemic flu alert level.

    Reactions on Twitter range from “Swine Flu ? dont believe a word of it……………………………. And pigs mite fly” (@FONEJACKER12009) to “My head hurts. I’m getting swine flu..” (@iStefanie).

    We’re here to know how YOU feel about it? Are you actually scared (and willing to admit it in public) or think it’s just another “bird flu” that will go away?

    • I have to agree with Lee that the news seems to focus on the "possible pandemic" instead of other issues going on. Honestly, I rarely watch the news, I follow a news outlet on Twitter and that's how I first heard about it.

      The Swine Flu is a Flu. I like your post about it. The common sense facts on how to avoid were great but commonly not followed. You'd think people would wash their hands after sneezing or before eating.
    • I talked about this on "This is Broken Blog" - http://bit.ly/et8J4 - it's nothing. It's all media hysteria.

      Oh, and your poll doesn't work. It just keeps loading.

      There isn't really a question in the poll that I can identify with to be honest.

      My take is that the whole swine flu is something of a conspiracy - I've heard it was developed in a lab and accidentally got out.

      Here in the UK, since the news went mainstream I've also noticed a lot of other important issues, especially concerning government, have received less coverage which all seems rather convenient to me.
