Opportunists really just love the power of the fear it brings not only in this country, but all the countries around the world. Happy time for businessmen, especially those doing medical item business such as facemasks, drugs for flu and those hand washing items.

On the other hand, it’s a great opportunity for corruptions to some, though others are really serious about it.

Anyway, no matter what, the question is “Why are they in a panic?” If the real truth is correctly spread, then this would not happen. For those who did not know, the truth is that those who died have their previous diseases other than H1N1.

The 1976 Swine Flu vaccine killed 25 in the US whereas the Swine Flu only claimed 1 life.

Now, in the US the swine flu is all but forgotten. Nobody is walking around wearing any mask at all.

Have a look at below for some statistics I had gotten from one of the Internet forums (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/435-Bangkok-Schools-Close-July-15-t280294.html).

Cases in border states:
Texas - 900 cases, 3 deaths
California - 553 cases
Arizona - 520 cases, 2 deaths
New Mexico - 97 cases

United States total - 6,552 cases, 9 deaths

What’s going on in Thailand now and in some other countries is that Hysteria is the only pandemic going on.
