People are running around like lunatics, washing their hands, wearing masks, keeping their kids home from school and eating, solely, canned foods.
There has been a push to call this swine flu H1N1…but how can you call something so piggy a couple of letters with two ones?
When you read about the definition of H1N1, apparently, it’s the general term for most strains of flu since they have been testing strains…the same strain as the Spanish flu from 1918 that killed millions of people worldwide.
So, if people really did call this flu H1N1, instead of Swine Flu, and they grew curious and then looked it up, they would see that millions of people have died from it during the Twentieth Century.
This might not make them treat pigs any better.
I don’t believe in contracting the flu. It’s bad for you. Furthermore, it could be deadly.
Swine flu is Swine flu by any other name. H1N1 sounds even worse.
Wash your hands. And wait for this media cycle to end. Hype. Or is it?

Well, in my line of work it's potentially very serious... But the general population??? I dunno. I AM glad that I don't have to breathe airplane air this week... Biden aside...
