A lot of it is hype. Is "pandemic" a common word? I really didn't know what it meant exactly. According to Wiki, it's another word for "global epidemic." I heard a news report about Bird Flu, the "global pandemic" so already the terminology is being misused leading me to believe that yes, a lot of it is hype and paranoia. And could it be more obvious that Bush is using it as a diversion for his other woes? It's like Iraq, Katrina, Karl Rove, Supreme Court....HEY LOOK! I'll protect us from this killer pandemic!!
