all i have to say about swine flu

This blog, which is about public health in New York City, has thus far said nothing about the most covered public health crisis in NYC this year: swine (H1N1) flu. This teriffic video in part explains why. The video is a quick exploration of the "death to news" ratio of swine flu and TB over the course of thirteen days. In sum: they're very different. The video's less than three minutes; click! If nothing else, the narrator makes it interesting.

    Thanks for passing along! It's unfortunate how under-reported some of these major killers are, just because they are not considered "news worthy." People have a total misconception about how at risk they are for something like swine flu, while simultaneously being totally oblivious to the diseases that are so much more likely to kill them!
