THAT'LL TEACH THEM TO GO TO MEXICO ON A SPRING BREAK TRIP...

MAYBE AT QUITTIN' TIME YOU SHOULD SCREAM "SWINE FLU!!!" AND RUN OUT OF THE OFFICE. SEE WHAT HAPPENS...

YEAH, DO THAT AND LET US KNOW. I THINK YOU'RE ALLOWED ONE PHONE CALL.

SO A NORMAL FLU IS GOING AROUND. THEY ARE FREAKING OUT.
WHERE DO NEW STRAINS COME FROM NORMALLY? IS THE JUMP FROM ANIMAL, TO HUMAN, TO HUMAN TO HUMAN TRANSMISSION ALONE ENOUGH TO FREAK OUT ABOUT? EVEN IF IT IS JUST A REGULAR ILLNESS?

WE NEED SKEK OR JOSEPHUS TO CHECK IN!

IT'S VERY RARE. VERY VERY RARE. SWINE FLU IS A COMPLEX BEAST THAT IS A HODGE-PODGE OF OTHER VIRUSES. NOT VERY LIKELY TO HOP TO PEOPLE. THE CASE IN NY WAS DUE TO A LOT OF STUDENTS GOING TO THE SAME PLACE IN MEXICO AND PALLING AROUND WITH HOGS. IT'S JUST LIKE ANY OTHER INFLUENZA- A BIT OF SICKNESS AND IT GOES AWAY. NOT FATAL BY ANY MEANS.

SHEESH. PEOPLE ARE SCARED OF EVERYTHING NOWADAYS- BIRD FLU, SWINE FLUE, WOOT FLU... I'D BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE CRAZIES WITH CONCEALED HANDGUNS.

I ATE A HOT DOG OVER THE WEEKEND AND HAD HAM ON MY PIZZA LAST FRIDAY. AND TODAY I HAD SALAMI IN MY LUNCH.

...SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS SWINE FLU?

AGREED. PEOPLE ARE SO PARANOID ABOUT GETTINGS SICK, SHEESH!

BUT I'M MODERATELY GOOD LOOKING. PERHAPS THIS SWINE FLU ONLY AFFLICTS THOSE UNFORTUNATE ONES WHO FALL UNDER THE "PIG" CATEGORY?

I HAVEN'T KISSED A PIG AS OF LATE SO AM I SAFE?

PIG ISN'T JUST A PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES CATEGORY. . . NOT SAYING YOU ARE ONE, JUST ADDING FOR CLARIFICATION.

SO SWINE FLU ONLY AFFECTS PEOPLE WHO RESEMBLE SWINES? BECAUSE IF THAT'S THE CASE, NOT ONLY AM I SAFE, BUT ALSO THAT EXPLAINS WHY CERTAIN STATES ARE MORE AFFECTED THAN OTHERS...

I HAVE NO CLUE, I AM NOT AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPERT, AND I HAVEN'T BOTHERED MAKING MYSELF AQUAINTED WITH SWINE FLU.

I'M JUST SAYING THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO LOOK PERFECTLY NORMAL TO WHOM THE ATTRIBUTE OF PIG OR EVEN SWINE CAN BE ATTRIBUTED BASED LARGELY ON THEIR ACTIONS WITHIN SOCIETY.

OINK!

i thought they were worried b/c some of the people in mexico died and they don't understand why or how they were different than the rest of the cases.

LOOK UP THE TERM "AVAILABILITY HEURISTIC"... EVERYONE IS IN A TIZZY BECAUSE 30 KIDS SLUMMING IN MEXICO CAME UP ILL.

ONE PERSON WHO COUGHED ON A PLANE FROM CANCUN GOT THE PLANE EMERGENCY-LANDED IN PHILLY AND QUARANTINED. NOT THAT ANYONE'S OVERREACTING OR ANYTHING...

I HEARD THAT BEA ARTHUR DIED FROM THE SWINE FLU.

GOT ANY BIRDS MAD AT YOU?

BESIDES , EVEN THOUGH NY HAS MOST OF THE SICK KIDS, AND THEY WERE ALL TESTED IN THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL A ROUSING 2 MILES FROM HERE....

WE ARE ALL TO PISSED OFF AT THE GOVERNMENT FOR FLYING THOSE DAMN PLANES AROUND THE CITY TODAY WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE BEFORE THEY DID IT!

GOOD TO KNOW NYERS STILL HAVE THEIR PRIORITIES!

HARD TO GET ALL WORKED UP ABOUT A 3 DAY FLU


THAT AIRPLANE WAS JUST THE STUPIDEST THING EVER!

MY DAD AND I WERE JUST DISCUSSING HOW CRAZILY STUPID THAT WAS. THERE ARE AT LEAST 50 BELIEVABLE COVER STORIES THAT THEY COULD HAVE RELEASED TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM FREAKING OUT.

THE TRUTH COULDN'T HAVE HURT. THEY COULD HAVE JUST ANNOUNCED IT.

THAT WOULD OPEN IT UP TO A MEDIA FRENZY AND TERRORISTS THOUGH. . . STILL THEY COULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING TO THE PUBLIC.
