One thing we have to keep in mind with all of this.

IT IS THE FLU!

This is not Malaria, or smallpox, or Polio.

It is a debilitating disease that makes you feel like hell for a week or two that could hurt small kids and elders, but aside from that, all the media panic being spread about this is quite irritating.

They name it "swine flu" because of its origins, but somehow calling it that makes it sound worse, more foreign. Hell, it even makes you think about AIDS (and the "rumor" that it was originally present in monkeys...).

The key here is to stay healthy, keep good care of yourself, and try not to lick toilet bowls.

Seriously though, this is an unnecessary national emergency, and Texas should be told to STFU.
