iMovie Script Swine Flu
 * iMovie Script:** I wrote out a rough draft of a script if anybody would like to read it:
 * __ ASSERTION __**** - ** Swine influenza, and, consequently, the mass hysteria generated by it, has been completely overblown by the media and other world organizations.


 * REASON 1- ** swine influenza is related to or bears great similarity to other epidemics throughout history.


 * EVIDENCE 1 ** - Swine flu is a direct relative to the Spanish Influenza of 1918 and many modern day diseases (such as bird flu), yet it has failed to equate to its predecessors in killing power (Spanish influenza of 1918 killed as many as 25 million people worldwide in it's first 25 weeks; Black Death plague of 1347 killed 60% of Europe’s population; 120 deaths in the world because of swine flu(most prominent death population in Mexico)(in most of these deaths the people had underlying illnesses that could have caused their deaths instead of swine flu)


 * REASON 2 ** - Thanks to the hysteria surrounding swine flu, individuals // and // countries have begun to take overly drastic measures to prevent its outbreak.


 * EVIDENCE 2a- ** China, claiming that even a single case of swine flu in China would prove cataclysmic because of their large population, placed a large number of Mexican businessmen and women under quarantine. However, despite the preceding reason and China's being the host of the world's largest pig population, they have yet to report an actual case of the flu. []


 * EVIDENCE 2b ** - Citizens of Mexico spent the weeks after the announcement of swine flu wearing surgical masks to prevent its spread. [|http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01391/flu_1391385c.jpg]


 * REASON 3 ** - The CDC (Center for Disease Control) says a vaccine for swine flu is being made and tested and should be available to the public by October of this year, if it is still needed by then.

"It's still not clear whether a swine flu vaccine is needed, Schuchat said. Any decision to move forward would be based on several factors, including the severity and spread of the virus and whether there's a safe and effective vaccine... " --quotes from Fox19 Internet writer Steven Reinberg []
 * EVIDENCE 3a- **** " ** So far, infections with the H1N1 swine flu virus continue to be mild and recovery is fairly quick, as is the case with seasonal flu, officials said."


 * EVIDENCE 3b-** Some older people may have partial immunity to the H1N1 swine flu virus because of possible exposure to another H1N1 flu strain circulated prior to 1957. So far, 64 percent of cases of swine flu infection in the United States have been among people aged 5 to 24, while only 1 percent involves people over 65, officials said last week.


 * __ PREVENTION- __** Some ways to prevent the spread of the flu is if you feel sick stay home and away from people, if your hands are dirty don't rub your nose, eyes, or face. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough.
 * __ SYMPTOMS OF SWINE FLU __**** - ** some symptoms to the swine flu are: fevers, body aches, nasal congestion, and sometimes diarrhea.
