Editor's Note: In spite of President Obama’s declaration earlier this week of a “national emergency” to address the H1N1 influenza virus, many watching Thursday’s "American Morning" were wary of the “hype.”
- Lenora: I am so thankful for the Internet and talk radio. It has been very strange to me that we have been in such a declared state of emergency as well as declared at such a high level of pandemic, yet the severity of this H1N1 virus has yet to come close to the normal seasonal flu statistics. It baffles me that the President wants to panic the American people into thinking that they need or even want this new vaccine. CBS exposed the CDC deception on the swine flu cases. examiner.com also reveals as well as many other websites that this flu is exaggerated and for what reason? CNN just claimed to pride itself on exposing the truth. Well we are waiting to see if you can find it and if you are professional enough to report it. There is no health emergency and 1000 people dying of confirmed H1N1 is going to be a hard stat to find. Try CDC website, it isn't there. They stopped specifying H1N1 cases in August. Now everything that vaguely resembles flu like symptoms is "scientifically" lumped together to inflate their numbers of "flu" cases.
Has the H1N1 virus affected you or your family? Is it a “national emergency’ when ERs are overloaded, or is this common for the season?
The Dallas police apology to those ticketed for “driving while not speaking English” concerned some viewers, who worried that these drivers were unable to read English as well: "Kinda scary to me…I do not think she should be driving at all if you can not read the traffic signs."
- Becky: The Lady that was given a ticket for not speaking english...well o.k I can see that being wrong but let me ask would you want to be driving next to her because it sounds like she can not read english..kinda scary to me, I do not think she should be driving at all if you can not read the traffic signs, her daughter had to read the ticket to her!! That is bad!!
How do you feel about being on the road with drivers who may not be able speak English?
