Swine flu?

This whole swine flu craziness is getting so ridiculous. Yes, it's a new strain. Yes, it has now gone global. But do you know how many thousands of people die each year from the regular flu? In comparison this swine flu outbreak is not a big deal. 300 schools have closed nationwide because the administrators are afraid of the spread. Seriously, people? Calm down. If you start to feel sick, go to the doctor. If it turns out to be swine flu, take the anti-virals and you're good to go. It's not the end of world. Everyone is freaking out about contracting the virus - Just cover your mouth if you cough/sneeze and always wash your hands. (and FYI, these are things you should be doing anyway!! You should not have to be told to wash your hands!) ...And dont go kissing any pigs.

And Danielle, learn this now: if handwashing is an answer choice, the answer is always handwashing. (Just like the priority for any situation is always Safety)
