The Swine of Flu

So... this whole swine flu thing...

Yea, people need to calm the fuck down. Everyone's acting like this is gonna be the next pandemic. This is gonna be the one that really gets us. This is gonna be worse than the Avian flu, or SARS or West Nile or blah, blah, blah. Always a new disease, always something to be afraid of.

Yet, this swine flu, is nothing. I mean, it is a flu, and the flu sucks, but it's not deadly.

"But... but... but... people have died!" Yes, and people die of the normal flu yearly. People also die of strep throat and other curable diseases simply because they're immune system is not strong enough. Most of those people are either very old, or very young, and as sad as it is, those people are the most susceptible to most diseases.

Basically what I'm trying to say is, people need to stop worrying and shut up. It's not deadly, it's not gonna wipe out the world's population and destroy everything humanity has ever created. At worst, you'll get sick, it'll suck, and then you'll get better and go on about your normal life.

Now, I'm going back to my mind destroying TV,
