Swine Flu

First case here in Oxfordshire reported yesterday. Little girl of six. She reportedly recovered well on a course of flu medication.

This disease is just getting less and less scary.
 
Oxfordshire... it's getting closer.

I kinda hope somebody from school gets it so I can have a break.
There, I said it. D:
 
Everyone in class is paranoic because a kid in our class hasn't been in for a while, is coughing up pleghm, and lost seven pounds. He sits across from me and it's apperently the SWIIINE FLU and I'm IN DANGEEER. O.o

He called for the homework, and he has broncitis.
...
*headdesk* I do feel bad for him though. Sounds as if he's in bad shape. Right around testing time too.
 
I think everyone's going out of their minds for nothing, honestly. It's not like washing your hands and using hand sanitizer can't prevent spreading just about any illness, all this paranoia about it is just making it sound like we're all gonna drop dead or something.

Not that I'm one to talk, I'd be the one to die from something stupid like this because I don't leave the house enough to have any kind of immunity to anything.
 
Hand sanitizer doesn't help that much, though, because a lot of things are resistant to it. Getting it off you by washing your hands properly is much better.
 
It's a goddamn flu that acts like a flu. It is not a particularly special flu. Why freak out over it?
