I badly want to avoid this flu. We were at DQ last night, ordering, and when we got to the window to pick up our food, I saw the lady inside preparing it without gloves. She was the same lady that took money. I told her that I forgot my wallet and drove off. Disgusting.
Also, we made a special batch of hummaas, with extra garlic. I'm eating that stuff like crazy. It's giving me a lot of bad gas, but hey, I'm healthy.
The funny thing is, if we didn't have the Swine Flu issue going around, you probably wouldn't think twice about her preparing the food without gloves.

I dunno if this is true. Maybe at one point, but not anymore. Besides, if you saw this DQ lady... she just looked... diseased. Maybe she was on some heavy form of drugs. I see what you are saying, that I probably am not always as health conscious as I am now, which is true. However, taking extra precautions during outbreaks does make sense.

Map
of each suspected and confirmed case.
The pink is confirmed, while purple is suspected cases. Im not sure what yellow is. Edit: actually im not sure there is any color coding, it seems a little random. any insight would be appreciated.
Its very informative, and will be useful for watching your own area closely to know when local viral infections are present. This is becoming very close to home, as several people are infected within my county.
I would like to again point out that 35 thousand people die from human flu annually in the US alone. the concern here is that there is no vaccine for the swine flu and so it is spreading faster than the human flu. The number if infections for swine flu is very
very
small atm, but its growing quickly because no one is immunized for the swine flu. A vaccine will not be available until September.
If you take care of yourself when sick, you should be okay, but if you ignore the symptoms and go about your regular business, not only will you be hurting yourself with the prospect of pneumonia, but those around you who may be less able to fight the virus (weak immune systems) including the elderly and babies. if you have a small child or elderly person in your home, keep an eye out for typical flu symtoms.
It is deadly, but very treatable as well. just take care of yourself . Its also not a doomsday virus, just take care of yourself as you should with ANY sickness.

Copied from the site itself:
Purple marker is confirmed or probable
Pink marker is suspect
Yellow marker is negative
Fatal cases have no dot

Maybe he accidentally read over it... no need to turn on the flames until confirmed case of stupidity. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Simple "yellow is negative" will do.

Just found out that my mothers boyfriend has the flu and he's coming over in a few hours D:

Didnt think it would reach sweden to be honest.

Today at my work, just as I was leaving, my manager was sending everyone into a panic because two more cases were confirmed in the UK. She predicts 10% of the world's population will be dead within the week.
A little over zealous, methinks.
On a serious note, I GUESS, I honestly think it's got to be something you need to watch out for, but not cause to seal yourself in your house with three years worth of canned foods and nudie magazines.

You must kill him and dispose of the corpse as soon as possible, or else
10% of the world's population will be dead within the week.

I don't think you guys understand how super serious this is.
Today, I saw a paper with the headline "IT JUST GOT WORSE" and another said "40% OF THE UK IN DANGER". It's not like they put these headlines in there to intention stir up to public to sell more newspapers or anything like that. Geez guys, use your heads. If the news says its true, it must be true.

The government just needs to take over the media so they can end the shenanigans.

I'm not going to lie, I thought you were serious Laihendi. Was Erlinn serious? I hope not... He sounded serious, and then he said :
Geez guys, use your heads. If the news says its true, it must be true.
I'm not going to lie either, I'm getting concerned with how hard it seems to have suddenly become to convey sarcasm in text.

The Black Death killed off 50% of the world's population. >.>
('course, back then, that was less than 5% of our current population.)

No. It didn't.
