I work in a real hospital. Except about 2 miles away in a building full of desks and computers.
There haven't been any swine flu cases there yet, but the Emergency Department has taken over some other departments because it needs more beds.
We have gotten several bulletin updates per day about what to do and what supplies are available.
For me it's not so much about a disease that might make a lot of people sick.
Its more about watching the public health social aspect evolve.
Schools closing, people can't go to work because their kids are at home, the anxiety factor.
That's contagious.
