There is no doubt that the meadia is playing up the news. That is their busuness, to make us watch.
But we all are humans beings, susceptable to that news.

Just look at the reaction of China banning pork imports when W.H.O. among others state that you do not get infected by the meat. Then there is the actual name 'Swine' flu. This one is a combination of swine, avian and human. So why is it not called Human flu, after all humans are the ones infected and it is transmited human to human. All of Mexico is being lamb basted because of Mexico city area.
Is that appropriate?

This type of reactionary labeling may affect ECU ( may be doing so already?) so I want it out in front before it materializes, that we discuss it's validity. Ignoring the subject could hurt us.
