UNA EXPLICACIÓN de por qué la gripe porcina no es tan grave como se dice, por el decano del departamento de microbiología de la facultad de medicina Mount Sinai, en Nueva York.

ACTUALIZACIÓN. La sobrerreacción está teniendo un coste mucho mayor que la pandemia en sí:

Some people rationalize that this hysteria serves a noble purpose, in that it prepares us for the worse.  This, however, ignores the fact that there are tremendous real economic costs to overreaction, and that sometimes overreaction has far reaching negative impacts which can be many times greater than than that of the original problem.  In the case of swine-flu, schools and universities are closing, countries are unnecessarily slaughtering animals, and travel and entertainment are being constrained in an already fragile world economy.  For Mexico, which already has enormous political and economic issues, overreaction is remarkably painful, virtually inihiliating all tourism - the third largest sector of it’s economy.
