Well roll me in mud and diagnose me with Swine Flu.

I think this whole "pandemic" scare and craziness is absolute bullshit.

I can honestly say that I would love to contract the virus, just so I can be put in the little glass bubble that society will no doubt put me in, and show people that it's nothing to be worried about. I'd let them watch every sneeze, sniffle, cough and possible vomiting spell, mouthing the words "BIG DEAL" the whole time. Yes, because these symptoms are so very different from the normal flue. Everyone seems to be going absolutely insane that there are people dying of this sickness. The numbers are tiny compared to the world's population, meaning that the percentage is probably still within the decimal range. Most of the reported deaths, according to most sources, are elderly, those in poverty, and the young. The old - well, that's no surprise. Their immune systems are influenced by other ailments that they no doubt suffer from, and are obviously not as strong physically to combat such an "invasion." Those in poverty can't afford the proper care, and newsflash people: Anything that lowers your immune system and is allowed to continue unchecked and untreated, can and probably will kill you. And children, hello, aren't built from that kind of thing.

Also, do people realize that thousands upon thousands people die of the "normal" flu every year? It's not like people go completely ape shit over the normal strain. Yes, people get flu shots, but once again, I'd like to point out the demographics of the highest percentage of people who receive flue shots in the US - the elderly and the young. Sound familiar?

So, don't be prejudice against the pigs, people. And for God's sake, don't stop eating pork. Calm down, and don't hate the Mexicans.

POINT: Anyone think this could be a ploy to get people's vote to close the Southern borders? The whole thing originated from Mexico, and outside of tacos and crystalline beaches, Mexico has been nothing but a thorn in some American's sides for years.

Granted, I don't think that Mexico did the right thing in keeping the "outbreak" under wraps until after the Spring Break rush, but honestly, who could blame them? That's one of their top forms of revenue. There's no doubt that students would have rerouted their drunken escapades, causing a substantial loss in tourism to poor old Mexico.

Oh well. Cover your coughs, stay away from Mexico, and CALM DOWN!
