Swine Flu

<p>There is a thread in politics about the, well, politics of swine flu but I wanted to start a thread where we could just talk about it. Here is an article from CNN for some basic information: [World</a> Health Organization: Swine flu could spread globally - CNN.com](<a href=“http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/04/25/swine.flu/index.html]World”>More cases of swine flu reported; WHO warns of 'health emergency' - CNN.com)</p>

<p>I don’t know what to think. We get our flu shots, but I assume that swine flu is not included in those? It seems there is really nothing to do but avoid sick people and wash our hands a lot. </p>

<p>What do you think about it? Are you changing your behavior at all?</p>

<p>Not yet, because what can you do honestly? Try the same things to keep yourself safe- wash hands, avoid things that are touched by lots of people, etc. </p>

<p>I think if people panic it will turn out really bad so people should stay calm until more is found out about this. </p>

<p>It reminds me of a book I read like 3 years ago- Pandamia. Good book (well-written not happy lol) about what would happen if like 90% of the population died and they died of a flu. Scary stuff.</p>
