Writer's Block: Swine Times
Are you worried about catching the swine flu? Do you have a plan for avoiding contagion or dealing with quarantine? |
The problem with the swine flu isn't that it's deadly, but that it might spread easily through the population. It probably kills something like one in two hundred who catch it, if previous outbreaks are any measure - but if very few people have resistance to the disease, that could become a two-hundredth of hundreds of millions of people, so it's worth taking precautions.
But nah, I'm not scared. I'm not even convinced it'll go pandemic.
