Swine Flu madness

I can't believe all the over the top hysteria about all this swine flu nonsense. I'm not sure what's worse to be honest- the media hyping it up out of all proportion, people going to shops and panic buying stuff, and people going mad on the internet. On one message board I use, there's some people who have stocked up on face masks and are urging other people to- at least when we see them in the street, we know who the people who have gone over the top are. Then we have the people who are posting on there who almost seem to be willing this to turn into something major with the way they're posting! I wish people would get a sense of perspective over all this.
