(no subject)
I'm not sure I'm getting this Swine flu thing. It seems a bit overdone to me what with the complete lack of scientific testing and the fact that no one outside of Mexico seems to have manifested crazy bad illness. It sounds like... flu. So should I be bothering to read articles on the subject in case this turns out to be justified hysteria or should I avoid news sources? I ask this because apparently this flu deserves a level 5 alert (which sounds kind of serious) and filter masks in hospitals and journalists can't make that happen.
