THE INEVITABLE SWINE FLU THREAD: How bad is it where YOU are?

[tyrannosaurus vex]

REPORTED FROM MY DISTRICT:

Currently, there have been zero reported incidents of "Swine Flu" in this area, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't still be scared out of your mind. It's coming, and if you're a person of average, below normal, or above normal weight, living between the Equator and the Arctic Circle, of European, Asian, African, or Native American descent, you are most likely going to die. LOOT NOW, while you still have the strength to watch a new TV!

Nothing up here. I think the media is blowing another illness out of proportion based on people in Mexico and the Southwest not knowing how to wash their hands after they wipe their ass.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

But dude, there's a FLU out there!
Run for your life!

a FLUUUUUUU!


(just got over flu)

meh, sow what.

THE BEST POSSIBLE THING TO TAKE FOR A VIRUS THAT MUTATES WITH EVERY NEW CONTAGION IS AN ANTI-VIRAL MEDICINE

SURELY, THERE'S NO WAY THAT IT COULD MUTATE BEYOND THE ANTIVIRAL'S EFFECTIVENESS.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

[tyrannosaurus vex]

Relax, they can make a new antiviral in as little as four months, just in time for everyone who needs it to have been dead for 3 months.

my brother is flying to mexico in like... two days :/

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Make sure he washes his hands frequently.
Also, a face mask in crowded areas might not be a bad idea.

I wonder if all the people choosing not to vaccinate their kids has anything to do with this?
Just a thought.

[Roaring Biscuit!]

im not too worried about it tbh, he's only there for a day before he moves on to guatamala...  i don't really know how to feel about pandemic scares overall, I'm sorta aware that it is a threat, its just...  i dunno, i dont get sick much so i never really worry about sickness...

Plus media cynicism helps people keep their heads me thinks...

Yes, it's called a bovine intervention.
