"Swine Flu" threat greatly overexaggerated

Just found this story which says there have only been 7 Swine Flu related deaths.

Only 7 swine flu deaths, not 152, says WHO

A member of the World Health Organisation (WHO) has dismissed claims that more than 150 people have died from swine flu, saying it has officially recorded only seven deaths around the world.

Vivienne Allan, from WHO's patient safety program, said the body had confirmed that worldwide there had been just seven deaths - all in Mexico - and 79 confirmed cases of the disease.


So they've been lying about the "huge threat" this whole time. Everyone put on your masks! Obscure your face.

Newspaceman brings up the "When Pigs Fly" and "Swine Flu/Flew" connections, which I was just thinking about yesterday. There was a commercial on upstairs in which a little boy is asking his mother if he can join the "Gentleman's Club" (why on earth he wants to do that, I'll never know), and she says "When pigs fly". I noticed the "Pig" connection, but didn't make the quantum leap to "Swine Flew/Flu". Interesting! A phrase which translates to "It'll never happen" combined with recent events says "The unthinkable has happened". Some pigs were flying (planes) pretty recently over New York.
