Swine Flu: What the hell???

In the meantime, we had news from Nepal where more than 230 people died because of Diahrrea, in the last two months. Accute diahrrea is one of the most common cause of death in the developing countries and is the second most cause of infant deaths world wide, according to the Wikipedia. Sometime before, like everyone else i read about the outbreak of swine flu. As the media these day is very agile in its own way and the world, like a global village, swine flu was at the back of everyone's mind. Thus people, equally aware of this new outbreak, acted themselves to prevent from this resurgent flu.
We do not know how many lives did the 2009 swine outbreak claim, the only thing we believe is every human being is as important as any other in this world and each untimely death is a tragic loss for mankind. Saying this, however, we would like to ask the media, why are they only after the new outbreaks, those which give them something to sell their newspapers. As we said before, although unaware of those figures of death caused by swine flu, we are sure it has not climbed above fifty worldwide. But, diahrrea, which almost everyone in the world suffers every year, either due to having too much to eat or having nothing to eat, claimed huge amounts of lives in the south asian countries, remained quite unnoticed.
Hopefully, we will be able to prioritize news based on humanitarian needs rather than the country priority. From those cases where simple information could save the lives of thousands every year should always receive a priority.
