I usually never believe those who are skeptical about the seriousness of a possible pandemic but this article is making me think otherwise. Thoughts?

worry.....don't worry.....worry...... seems to be the message.  They don't want people to get burnt out waiting for the swine flu to come back around in 3 months....they aren't sure how bad it will be.  They ARE sure thet when it does come back to the northern hemisphere in sept-Oct...it will be way different, can pick up a little something from birds and or mammels.

Still, it was too soon to be certain what the swine flu virus will do. Experts say the only wise course is to prepare for the worst. But in a world that's been rattled by the specter of a global pandemic, glimmers of hope were more than welcome Friday.

"It may turn out that H1N1 runs its course like ordinary flus, in which case we will have prepared and we won't need all these preparations," Obama said, using the flu's scientific name.

The president stressed the government was still taking the virus very seriously, adding that even if this round turns out to be mild, the bug could return in a deadlier form during the next flu season.
