LMAO at people being freaked out about this.  If the media didn't attach the word swine to it everyone would still be concentrating on the Speidi wedding.

Make you smelly like a pig?

What worries the health people is that this type of flu can kill healthy adults, not just the very young or the very old.

I don't think that's accurate.

Although highly simplified, it's quite accurate.

No, it's what foxnews/msnbc is telling you.  It's not accurate.  Regular flu can kill healthy adults and this has shown nothing that would make it more or less dangerous once you have contracted it.  Don't attach the word swine to it and Glen Beck is back to bitching about the negro in the white house. 

It's not going to spread like everyone is freaking out about either:

And CNN (HLN channel at least) their coverage is hilarious.  Bombarded by swine flu stuff right after they get done talking about octo-mom every day.

Mainstream media

I only watch HLN for Robin.

Can you combine this     and this      ?

[PCR]

This isn't the seasonal flu.  The truth is that the scientists don't really know what's going to happen, and the media is taking full advantage of that fact.  It certainly looks fairly benign now, but that could change.

Go hang out with a bunch of people you don't like.  Great opportunity imo

[sys]

Great opportunity imo

if i infected someone and they died, would it count?  would i have to prove that i did the infecting?

Yeah, it would count.  You have to call it first though.  I mean, if someone else has already claimed to have infected them you won't get credit.  It's like claims on old timey gold mines or oklahoma land plots or whatever.

I'm more concerned about the strain going off the radar, mutating, and coming back a couple years from now much stronger.
