The gravity of the illness appears not much different than a seasonal flu; the majority of fatalities were caused by pre-existing conditions and not by the flu.<br /><br />The best way to prevent the spread of germs is to use good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often.

I understand it is a new strain of flu, but the flu mutates every year. That is nothing new. @Melissa

I am tired of the media blowing things out of proportion. They want to promote panic. Thousands of people die from the flu every year. I was in Asia during the Bird flu and never had a problem, heck, I survive flu season in Canada every year without fail:)<br />Cheers. Deb I agree completely.

But people will twist the facts to serve whatever ends they have.<br /><br />@Travelogged<br />Why was JetBlue showing the PSA? Was it part of a newscast?<br /><br />@Trisha<br />Amen to that. Unless something major happens I'm not going to bring this up again. @LivingTheDream

And the Mexico tourism industry has suffered devastating losses over what is both unfair and inaccurate reporting.<br /><br />It's time to find a new story to focus on and get over this ridiculous obsession with a flu. Amen Brian – I’m appalled at the way the news media has sensationalized this in their pathetic attempts to gain readers/audience/attention.

You’re right that this particular flu strain is no different, or worse, than any other flu that kills roughly 30,000 people in the US every year. And the Mexico tourism industry has suffered devastating losses over what is both unfair and inaccurate reporting.

It’s time to find a new story to focus on and get over this ridiculous obsession with a flu.

I can understand not wanting to travel to Mexico City, but thats about it. I've had pork almost every day since they announced it, just for spite. <br /><br />It seems to be calming down a lot though. Hope this flu thing passes over soon.

The best line of the PSA is at 15 seconds in!<br /><br />@Peter<br />Thanks for reading and the compliment!<br />The words pandemic - epidemic got passed around too many times the last few weeks. When a whole bunch of people get the flu we don't get all crazy.<br /><br />@AichaR<br />You speak the truth. Thanks! @Bathabile
