In less than a week we went from daily updates from the Health Department, leading stories on every News Channel, Briefings from the Obama Administration and the Highest Alerts from the WHO to absolutely nothing.
You don't hear a thing about it. A person died over the weekend from complications to Swine Flu and it didn't even make the top of the news. What happened?
It is pretty clear that as fast as this disappeared from the News, that it was a drastic Over-reaction from our Government. They created a panic across the US. Schools were closing everywhere, the VP was telling people not to travel, Obama was requesting Billions to fight it. What did we have? We had panic! Hospitals and Doctors were overwhelmed. Everywhere you looked the US Government had the "Sky is Falling" mentality.
What did we actual have, a flu that is no more dangerous than the same flu that goes around every single year. Nice Job. What happens when we really do have a Health Emergency? How many will remember this "Crying of Wolf"?
