Do you think swine flu is over-hyped by media? 250,000 - 500,000 people die every year because of the seasonal flu, and how many have died from swine flu? Only 150

No, i do not think such...Swine flu is really a scary disease...It can be passed on from one person to another in just minutes or even seconds... 150 deaths in such a short period of time is too much...In addition, it has already spread all over the world... Another thing is that, it is still no medicine for it...
