The Ridiculousness of the H1N1 Virus
by Becky Hoffman
So, this flu has been here for a year, and it is driving the world crazy. Everyone believes that this flu is the new epidemic, and it will kill off many people in the world. However, because this virus is scary to people, everyone needs to realize that this is complete paranoia.
Last week a friend of mine became ill. He had the common symptoms of a cold or flu, eventually lost his voice, and was finally taken to the doctor. His doctor told him he had a “really bad cold.”
The next week I became sick and, on the same day with the same symptoms, I was told I had “H1N1.” Because of the commonness of the symptoms, I do not believe the swine flu entered my body, and everyone had become paranoid. Where is the line between a cough and the deadly swine flu?
