-Should we panic? (Video from youtube.com) media type="youtube" key="UMpJfIl5iiE" height="340" width="560" A news from BBC news talk about how many people had died and basically relating it to the common flu. media type="youtube" key="mb8HdheSn74" height="344" width="425" (youtube.com) From France 24, this particular source informed us about Mexico and the economic impact of this disease. "Losing tourists" and "schools being closed"

=CONCLUSION =

Students are being affected directly because schools are being closed down. This stops them from getting more educated than they are right now. Also employees are getting affected too. Factories are being closed down and they can't get their paid and that can damage their family's lives because truthfully without money how can you survive?Vaccines are getting sold out because of the sudden outburst of epidemics making people constantly contacting the national health society because they are worried of catching this disease. People in Mexico avoid physical contact and wear a mask to cover them up.Most importantly to those who have lost a family member or a friend because of this disease have been effected the most. It hurts to lose some one you loved because of a disease. Overall these outbreak of epidemics can effect one's life in many different ways.

books, doing a bit of research into, periodicals from the 1918 flu pandemic era, it is clear that allopathic "cures" were deadlier than the disease itself. Many homeopaths, autologists, other "drugless" doctors understood that the blood was the life force of the body, its purity was a barometer of health as well as an indicator of disease susceptibility. They also witnessed that the poisoning of the blood via yellow fever, typhoid, smallpox vaccinations was the prerequisite condition for contracting the "Spanish" flu.
