Hitting close to home, but it was bound to happen.

That about sums this whole swine flu (or Mexico flu, if you are Muslim or Jewish) panic. Reaks of [censored] to me.
There have been no deaths outside of Mexico.
30,000 American people a year die from the flu. So far, 0 have died from this Mexico flu. Zero.

You exaggerate ! To be in such state it's necessary that blood analysis says no blood is detected in your vodka.

Well, at least we already have an experience to wait in lines, unpleasant one, but experience, and not only with alkohol, but with other stuff too, for example, books. So, generation of 50th, 60th and partly 70th is well trained and quite ready to revive succesful tactics in difficult times. As we say, you will not ruin your experience through drinking. But most Americans have neither immunity, no survival experience.

I hope that this swine flu isn't like what Ned Beatty got afflicted with in the movie Deliverance.

Yep. We're probably in for some future shock in the not too distant future. Former Soviets know the drill ..so to speak. My friend from Czechoslovakia (on holiday w/parents during the 1969 Russian invasion) was telling me about lotteries. When I asked if they gave you an odd or even number so you could buy stuff, he corrected me. He said your number allowed you to stand in line for the empty shelves.

IMO, the effectiveness of oseltamivir is questionable, but if I had the flu and I had the pills, I'd certainly take them. I had the flu earlier this year (for the 3rd (4th?) time in my life) but didn't bother with a trip to the doctor for the stuff. Felt really [censored] for a few days and then generally [censored] for a week afterwards, but life goes on.
My suspicion is that the deaths in Mexico are more a result of a poor response to the situation than of the virus itself, but time will tell, I suppose.

This swine flu is a joke compared to what I've been reading on the web about bubonic plague.

Whenever I visit Yosemite, the squirrels have bubonic plague and try their best to infect people.
The press is saying the USA isn't getting all excited about this. So much for self monitoring.
Then of course we have this:

The media loves to hype things up if they think it will scare people.

I just got through reading about hemorrhagic smallpox; you get it, you're dead.
Still no cure for piles.
