Swine flu

[cjsmith]

My information about the swine flu situation comes from two sources:

1) the WHO web site and the people who link to it

2) LJ and Facebook people going AAAAAAH NOBODY PANIC! STOP PANICKING! SERIOUSLY, CUT IT OUT RIGHT NOW!

Has anybody seen anybody panicking? The news may be full of stories describing panic; note the total lack of traditional news media in my info list above. Has anyone here seen or talked to someone who was off their nut about it?

Wow. I've had some high fevers with flu, but I've never come close to death by it. That's scary.

I get a flu shot every year too, but in my case it's sort of like "Oh, look, I can put new antibodies in my body's reference library for free, without having to get sick first? Cool."

It's been, oh, 20 years since I got that sick from it, but it can happen. Since then I try not to take any foolish chances.

That seems very wise!
