...of course the funny thing is that we will all die, eventually. Which is why panics such as this are so pointless, so stupid.

Haha, yes yes.  But you know all these people think they will live forever.  As for me I just don't want to feel ill!

Map as of now. Dark red= cases and deaths, red= cases, pink= potential cases. Source: TV, Interwebs, Viquipèdia.

Clearly this is a secret Al-Qaeda plot intended to destroy all of Western civilization.

Here we are, punished by "Allah", Mohamed told it to us, pork is "haram", we didin't want to listen, and here we are...

Well, yes I am, but, I think the world is better prepared now than it ever was. Consider that the world has ben preparing for year for an H5N1 pandemic, and next to H5N1, this virus is a wimp.

For a few weeks now, Ségolène Royal has a feverish behaviour.

Isn't she contaminating everybody she meets. Hurry up, put her in quarantine, or else, France will be a no man's land within one month !

Best. Idea. Ever. Though her quarantine should be in the insane asylum, or else she's contaminate all other persons in the normal hospital with her other disease, stupidity.

Question, Hash:

Concerned and interested, yes. But the signs are good thus far despite the media's constant scaremongering here in Canada. And while I am taking precautions, I'm not acting like some maniac over it.

Hmm, I think the main sickness of Ségolène Royal is the fact to always wanna be at the center of the media, in that sens , yes, that could be one of her coups.

But, if so, in France, she failed. Yes, amusingly, today I've seen something on TV were guys wondered why French media weren't as alarmist as other ones, funny. The fact that we haven't yet some flu cases might explain the thing, I don't know. France! Always apart! Yeah!

I've also seen CNN's stuffs on this and it reminds me that US really seems to be fascinated by doom that loom, damn some stuffs seemed kinda the Blair Witch Project.

Question, Hash:

Are you worried/scared/concerned yourself? Be honest!

By now, I don't know if it is the conditioning of media here, but I feel just a bit concerned.

If you want to go with that you could say Obama is at fault, he was just recently in Mexico and if one of his staffers brought a case back, well then....

Reports of a case in New Jersey showing up.

The French media is not as alarmist, that's for sure. They report the facts, all the facts, in a calm fashion. In Canada, there's the media that is crazy over this, with their big "PANDEMIC FLU" crap titles to scare the sh**t out of everybody. In addition, they fail to report that a majority of these cases are mild, instead focusing on "OMG THEY FOUND A CASE IN CANADA!!!11111 WERE ALL GONNA DIE!!!11".

In addition, we've got a Health Minister who is an incompetent MP for Resolute Bay and Ellesmere Island and who obviously has no clue what the hell is going on. We also had an idiot health official who publicly said that it's only a matter of time before this become a 1918-like pandemic, this coming while the government says to keep calm.

Exactly the same in the UK. I can't imagine what they'll be like if it actually kills anyone here.
