Everyone needs to chill out about swine flu.

You’re not going to die. The people most likely to get it are kids, olds, and sickies. Just like any other flu. The only thing that makes swine flu different from any other flu is that there is no flu shot to counteract it. Has anyone noticed the media doesn’t say anything about how to treat it/counteract it? No? That’s because they’d rather have people watching their newscast every night listening for an update on this supposed pandemic, rather than not worrying and just taking the necessary precautions i.e washing your hands, and using a kleenex/whatever when sneezing or coughing.

Seriously guys, the entire human race isn’t going to be wiped out because of a flu strain. Remember SARS? We haven’t heard fuck all about it since it arrived and died out six years ago. Everyone was getting hyped up about it, but that’s all it is - hype. Just take a few deep breaths, count to ten, and put it out of your mind.

ILU, Miss Meg. I stopped watching CNN this morning because they were scaring the fuck out of me. xD
