Swine Flu

Anyone following the Swine Flu Drama?

Personally I think th media is blowing this way out of proportion. It is sad and tragic that people have died from this, but c'mon... how many people die from other strains of flu every year? Yes, this is a particularly nasty one and yes, I am glad the CDC and the government are concerned and keeping tabs on it... it is their job afterall, but relax people. We aren't ALL going to die from this.

HERE are the facts on this illness direct from The Centers for Disease Control. According to them the best thing everyone can do is follow their momma's advice: Cover your mouth when you cough, wash your hands often, don't pick your nose (or touch your face) and stay home if you are sick.

And no, you can't get this illness from eating pork so enjoy your bacon folks! If the media is to be believed, this may be your last chance to do so.
