NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- And just like that, the so-called swine flu pandemic just went away. Or at least that's how it seems.
Here are the results of our most recent NSBNEWS.net Insta Poll question, which asked: The swine flu has garnered a lot of media attention -- what's your take on the issue?
The first option was: It's scary -- the more attention, the better. That was checked off by 14 percent of the respondents.
The second option was: It's another example of overblown news coverage. That was checked off by 86 percent of the respondents.
Twenty-eight people responded to the poll question.
