I'm going to be pissed

I swear to God, if someone gives me Pig Flu, I'm going to make out with their mom. So don't give it to me. But seriously, this stuff is kind of scary. I mean, the levels that government agencies to designate the seriousness of threats has never really been a good gauge for the actual danger, eg. the color-coded terrorist threat level. But in reading up on this Swine Flu thing, I read that CDC has a 6-level system that was instituted in the early 90's. Since then it has never been over 3. In the last 2 or 3 weeks since the outbreak it has gone up to 5. Kind of scary. They are the "experts" and they feel threatened enough to raise it like that? Nuts. And the other kind of scary thing is something I had never even heard of until this Pig Flu thing came out. In 1918, a third of the world's population got sick and more than 50 million people died of a flu strain. Now, I know that people get flus all the time and influenza strains change every year, that's why for people who get flu shots, you have to get a new one every year, but it's just creepy, to me, that that is actually possible.

We'll see I guess, how bad it really gets. Only one death in the U.S. so far, an infant, but virus evolve so fast and if we don't have any kind of vaccine for it, it could get bad, real fast. Ok, now everyone, freakout!!!
