I've noticed more and more people getting sick every day. At college one of my teachers passed out and alot of students were absent, also i've just recovered from a flu and yesterday I went to get my cough syrup I noticed that there are twice as many people as the week before. The clinic was full as hell, I had to wait for like 3 hours. Is this a sign of a coming zombie apocalypse? Just sayin' :v:.
People are getting less sick nowadays due to improvements in science and medicine.
You're just seeing a coincidence.
But not in Malaysia it seems.
These are all signs showing a zombie apocalypse is on it's way. You have to kill everyone who is sick, anyone who as much as sneezes has to be terminated. Otherwise there is no hope for mankind.

Good luck, soldier.
The season is changing, people have to adjust.
Or the zombies are starting to form.
No, people aren't sicker today, it's just reported more. Also consider that our ability to diagnose specific illnesses has grown, a couple hundred years ago if someone died of cancer it would very likely be diagnosed as being death by natural causes. Even during WWII there were diseases that were often considered fatal but are easily treated today.
I've lost 12 pounds in the last 3-4 days and my brother is down 18. We are setting up a doctors appointment for later today if possible. We have no idea what is wrong with us.
Can't entirely say that more people are getting sick, just more people are staying home because of it.
Flu season maybe?
About a third of my class was absent due to illness yesterday, and I feel ill now, so maybe.
It's just that time of the year, it's cold and its a lot easier to catch a virus. Darn those lucky Australians

Lucky? Half of Australia is head under water.

I didn't mean it like that, just that they don't have any nasty flues and colds.
Yeah because your college = the entire world.

Actually, we're seeing more autoimmune problems as our hygiene and standard of cleanliness improves.

I'm gonna take a guess and say it's likely mono.

The only time I'm even remotely obsessive about cleanliness is in the time before an important event, e.g. a show, a particular party, etc. (cleanliness being disinfecting things / washing my hands when there's no particular reason to do so.)
There's a flu going round here in my area of England.

Either him and his brother are making out, or they're sharing the same partners. No?

Which sounds right. Many people clean their dwellings before an important event. Even clean themselves before they go out into public. Which is right, but people who take 2-3 showers a day, clean their homes with industrial grade cleaners, and do that often. Are at a heightened risk for autoimmune disorders. Which are more dangerous than what they could've caught before. Not to mention the bodies diminishing ability to fight infections.
I wish I could skip at least tomorrow's class.
I hate science, my kidneys hurt (Had to carry 36 1 liter water bottles) and there's a French exam.
God damn it.
Why don't illnesses come here?!
[QUOTE=lockdown6;28107749]yeah you're probably gonna die
i'm sorry[/QUOTE]
When he dies can i carve the gravestone?
[QUOTE=thereisno131;28109054]Yeah because your college = the entire world.[/QUOTE]
Well it was a guess. I was wrong though, my bad.
[QUOTE=Wolfygod;28109570]When he dies can i carve the gravestone?[/QUOTE]
Yes. :v:
[QUOTE=Thund3rdome;28108761]Lucky? Half of Australia is head under water.[/QUOTE]
At least you can take longer showers now.
I have just recoverd from Tonsillitis (Don't know how to spell it) Missed Valentines day.
Holland is having a epidemic. Loads of children and adults are sick
(including me, i am home in bed for 2 weeks now)
Yeah it's just cold/flu season. I was off school yesterday with a 24 hour stomach bug. Nothing to worry about, it happens every year, generally norovirus or something like that.

Mono isn't just from kissing. If you have mono and it's active (it's active up until about the second week of symptoms and randomly throughout the rest of the person's life, though you won't feel it's symptoms past the first time) you can spread it by coughing on someone, sharing a drink, sharing food, or anything else that comes in contact with your saliva.
Cancer.
Influenza, a lot of people are getting it and its actually quite dangerous.
Because we invent and put name on new sicknesses every day.
No, people are starting to become pussies and call in sick at the slightest bit of discomfort.
