In response to one of my commenters, I will try my best to illustrate what is happening in Melbourne regarding to the famous swine flu.
Up to 2nd July 2009, there have been 1691 cases in Victoria out of a total of 4568 cases in the whole Australia. Melbourne has among the highest swine flu cases per capita in the world.
However, this does mean that there is a widespread panic among people living here. Despite there were many school closed down and intensive media coverage, there were not many deaths associated with swine flu.
You should know that swine flu is not a dangerous disease. It is known to be extremely contagious but it is less likely to kill you. The normal seasonal influenza kills more people than the current swine flu.
Right now, I'm glad that the media has shifted their attention from swine flu and focus more on the death of an artist
