Interesting thing is how the hysteria is beginning. In Sacramento, a student was sent home after exhibiting flu like systems who had returned from a trip to Mexico (the teacher informed the school and the parents quickly confirmed), so the whole school is shut down until Thursday so they can test the kid and the surroundings. Looking at Mexico City right now it looks like something out of a horror movie with everyone walking around with masks on....Either way my school district is 60% Hispanic and about 40% of that are Mexican who are constantly going and coming from family vacations to the area from November until about June. So, I'm wondering if the same thing will happen here.
 
Only in Mexico where it originated, no one anywhere else has died, but that was before they even knew what they were handling. Thats life, it happened with Tomatoes recently if you remember. Happens all the time, sucks to be those people, but were making fun of how big a deal people are making of it spreading, which is actually not a huge deal as the news makes out, were not making fun of dead people.



People die from alot of stuff, you pretty much wouldnt be able to make fun of anything by this standard.

Wait, we die.....when was someone going to tell me....

Crap, I have to speed up my purchases......here I was thinking that I had until infinity to buy my stuff and now I come to find out it's only a few years in the grand scheme of things.....sheesh....I knew I shouldn't cancelled 99% of my orders!

When I die, I want my collection sold, and the funds used to coat my skeleton in gold, that way someone will dig me up and display me in their collection. Seriously, I wouldn't mind that at all, I think itd be way cooler then just having a grave.
 
yikes... I'm going to an Aunites wedding next month and I think their honeymoon is in Mexico...
hmm.. wonder if they know about this.
 
I was very ill with common flu last year, it made me bed ridden for a week. I suffer from asthma so that made it even worse.
An ex-girlfriend of mine got Pneumonia from the flu.
Over 100,000 people are hospitalised in America every year with the common flu, so it's always been dangerous to contract it.
The fact that people are dying from this swine flu does not surprise me at all.
 
From MSNBC:

AP said:

Is anyone old enough to remember 1976?

When I was a kid I remember it being talked about all the time back then.
