I was actually talking to someone about it yesterday who was completely horrified, thinking that swine flu was gonna kill us all, and that it was a "plot from the terrorists in afghanistan to wipe out the united states through the drug trade!!" what? then I saw 3 people in the park wearing those stupid ass medical masks. everyone's treating it like the apocalypse, and there's only been 20 confirmed deaths in mexico.
it's just like CONFICKER!! only offline.
Imagine all those masks weren't put to use. Imagine all Mexico was infected because of that. Imagine that if we didn't overreact that much, it'd get world wide.
Oh, we'll never know, SPECIALLY SINCE THERE'S APPARENTLY ONE POSSIBLE INFECTED IN MY OWN TOWN, HERE IN SPAIN. Stupid ass, maybe, but if they wear it, maybe it's for something.
