I know we need to know about what is going on about it but why do they have to make it sound like the end of the world all the time, why can't they give us more posivitness. Newspapers gives me absolutely no re assurance whatsoever about the current pandemic, they just make it sound like the world is about to end. I don't think it is the swine flu which is making people panic, it is how it has been put about which is making people panic, i mean how are people supposed not to panic and carry on a normal day's lives if the newpapers keeps on saying about how many deaths there will be and how many people will fall ill, i mean how can anyone really be sure.</p>danielthomasFri, 17 Jul 2009 11:10:35 -0000
