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?

I think tiny babies make people off their nut to begin with, something chemical.

Of course, I may have cause and effect backwards.

I sometimes try to imagine what it's like to get pregnant and to be excited by it, but I just can't imagine anything but horror followed by repeated punches to my stomach as I grab the phone and book an appt at the clinic while mentally subtracting $600 bucks from my checking account.
