Writer's Block: Swine Times
Amherst College now has swine flu x 2 (+/- 4).
Yes, I am concerned.
My plan? Avoid the libs, dining hall and classes. :P Hope like hell and share love (from a distance).
Also, wiki says that the flu itself doesn't kill (because H1N1 is a: not from swine b: the same classification as Spanish flu 1918) but that it sets off a cytokine storm. Aka, your immune system kicks into overdrive that cannot be stopped and you kill yourself. By being healthy.
So... I'm safe because I'm chronically sniffling?
