Recently in the news, all we hear about the flu this the flu that. Probably making the actual flu seem a lot worse than what it really is. Last week at Santa Monica College, they were giving out free vaccine shots for the flu. The day before, my professor told me to come early because it would be crowded and hectic. i didnt think much of it, i was going to treat it like any other day but when i arrived the parking structure was over crowded, traffic was a lot more heavy, and there was a lot more people present. although i have heard the flu is really bad, i also heard that it’s not as bad as people make it seem to be. As usual, the media causes this big commotion to make people scared. That day i arrived at school i didn’t think it was that serious. i didnt even think once about getting the flu shot because i dont go crazy over what I hear. People probably called off work to wait for the vaccine all day. Stood in line as early as 7 in the morning. The lines were longer than the financial aid office on the first day at school. If we saw stories in the media about people actually saying the flu wasn’t that bad, there would not have been so much commotion that day. Not only have they done it with this story but many others.
