LMAOOOOOOO! I'm scared to get swine flu, but when I heard about it on the radio and they called it a "pandemic" I thought that too!! And SOOO MF Madagascar! Unless it starts there it will never reach it!! *waves fist*
Haha! I'm not particularly scared about this one, just because it's likely the fatality rate is no worse than say a really bad flu would be. But I admit, I was thinking about the game too when I heard the news about the swine flu, despite not reading this until last night. XD
And there are ways to infect Madagascar without starting there. Managed to do it a few times last night while playing. But there really is a huge luck factor. And a couple of those times, I screwed up and left somewhere else uninfected anyway.
The hospitals can tell when it's lab tested. The point is, there's no way to differentiate it from a bad flu, but I'm guessing that's because that's all what it is.
As long as it doesn't have anything near a 100% mortality rate, I'm not going to worry about it. With modern medicine, keeping people relatively healthy shouldn't be a problem, and articles seem to suggest that people are recovering from it.
Is it sad that when I heard OMGPANDEMIC, I automatically thought to Pandemic 2 and all the ways I could get this flu to spread and how many turns it'd take to infect everyone? Oy.

Oh, Hannelore.
Shut up, I'm too tired to type properly.

It sounds scary since they said there's no way to differentiate from it and a normal flu... so what's the difference!
