Anyone have an update on how bad it is now? I've heard it's on the decline in Mexico and England is controlling it well as we're waiting for the vaccine.

As long as I have Runescape I'm ok.

this really isn't nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.

Players are required to flee the infected and the infected are to seek medication. Or better yet, each copy of WoW emits actual swine flu spores into the players respiratory system.

I was inside a Q Taritino once.

Like......since the flu constantly changes, meds (presumably vaccines) become defunk because they can't fight off the new strand. So What's there to stock up on? I guess the problem is is that you were not very specific on what "meds" you are talking about.

This is fucking awesome, my entire school district has closed all next week because of the possibility of swine flu.

Ok I'm safe for now.

[QUOTE=SAS0206;14963218][url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrupted_Blood[/url][/QUOTE] That sounds pretty cool.

[quote=BBC News]Mexico has cut its suspected death toll by 75 to 101, indicating the outbreak may not be as bad as initially feared.[/quote] What were we scared about again?

I've been thinking, wouldn't it almost be good to get swine flu now? I mean, it wouldn't be pleasant, but it would mean that your body would have some antibodies already built up the the case of a second, more serious wave. Then again, I know nothing about medical jargon, so, whatever.
