Nevermind the fact that no one in Lebanon has been diagnosed with swine flu, or that only one person outside of Mexico has died from the new "pandemic". But in a bid to keep the disease from spreading, Lebanese health minister has encouraged people to forgo the traditional three-kiss greeting that's been a custom in Lebanon for, I dunno, forever? Now, I'm not trying to downplay the severity of this outbreak. But I do think that people are overreacting a bit, no thanks to all the global media splashing apocalyptic headlines into every media outlet on the planet. What do you think?
