"We know nothing about this new flu." - Wrong
There is a long history and knowledge of the Swine Flu:

"Since this is a new virus, no one has immunity to it." - Wrong
This is not a new virus, this is a virus that has been altered in some way which contains the Human influenza and both Avian and Swine influenza combined. The fact that some family members who are sick are not passing it to other family members shows a level of resistance by humans otherwise every single person who came into contact would be sick.

"We do not know whether the cases in Mexico are 2000 or 20,000." - Wrong WHO stated only 7 deaths and 79 CONFIRMED cases, which means lots of people either didnt have this swine flu or have yet to be counted as a confirmed case. The nubers have shrunk over the past few days,,,,strange isnt it?

"We currently do not have a vaccine fr this new virus" - no Vaccine but a treatment
We do have a treatment for the outbreak since we do know what it is.

"Many cases in Mexico killed people in the 20s and 30s" -
There is no correct number on the now 7 deaths in Mexico and their ages. This statement you made is false.


You are grasping at straws man.....this is blown way out of proportion. Period!!!!!!!!!!!!!
