Default Swine Flu overhyped?

Do you think that the recent swine flu outbreak has been overhyped by the media?
Only a handful of people have died in Mexico and throughout the world, but listening to media reports, you would think that there was a world wide epidemic.

I definitely do, so many people are die of much more violent illnesses. The bird flu is much worse.

I think the potential threat of swine flu is more in how people react to it then the flu itself. Though time will tell.
