there has definitely been backlash against the unnecessarilly scare-mongering of the earlier swine flu coverage- but, it is worth taking notice because of how easily transmittable it is. a slight mutation and this could in fact be a seriously dangerous pandemic

"a slight mutation and this could in fact be a seriously dangerous pandemic"

You could say that about almost anything including the common cold, could you not?

Is a "slight mutation" likely? Does this actually really happen? Sounds like more scare mongering in a way :/
