Swine Flu Hits Zoo

Is this all media hype or a true hazard that we should be worried about?

Right now, it seems like it may be a little bit of both. Swine flu is definitely a hazard, but more because of the concern about what this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus may do. Will it become a pandemic strain that can cause a global disease outbreak? Or will we just continue to see sporadic cases for a few weeks or months until it stops?

At this time it is impossible to predict what is going to happen with swine flu, but one thing is clear - panic, and fear is being driven by the media.
