So, last night the big threat of the swine flu was that there was a big outbreak in Mexico and people are warned not to go there right now. Check. I wasn't going there anyway. Then a few minutes ago I got a call to tell me that all of the schools in the area are being shut down until next week because two kids that go to a school five minutes from my house both have swine flu. Seriously. So, we're pretty much going to die. Or take Tamiflu. Either way, I can see that I'm going to get much less writing done this week than I had planned. Thanks, pigs!
UPDATE: Ahhhhhhhh! I'm getting emails, phone calls and Gmail Chat pings about the swine flu. Thank God I don't have Skype. Schools, daycares and businesses that cater to kids are shut down and now other businesses are closing. My brother has to work from home tomorrow because his whole office is closed. Local museums and other things are announcing closings until at least next week. People are freaking out and sending me press releases about hand washing(?) and articles about face masks.
I'm pretty much thinking pandemic barbecue- let's all get together and roast the bastards that started all this.

I'm in southern New Mexico and am just waiting for it to hit here. Unbelievable!
More chance of dying from the vaccine (as was the case in the 1976 swine-flu outbreak). "Oink" if you don't believe the scare hype ... !
I'll oink. I 'm not buying a face mask or the hype.
Actually, I've altered my stance entirely after seeing this ...

Ha! That is fabulous. I'm sending that to everyone I know.
