Swine flu is driving me crazy. I'm sorry, it's H1N1 flu now. Like it should have been all along. I'm pretty sure we're dealing with just one fatality still in the US (ordinary flu kills 36,000 annually) but people in "infected" areas are wearing surgical masks and trying to stockpile Tamiflu and generally freaking out. Yes, it's serious, and yes, it could become a global pandemic, but it's not the apocalypse! We have drugs to treat it, and we know the prevention steps that we should have already been doing. I guess it's a good reminder to stay clean and sanitary. Seasonal flu remains the bigger threat, though! Grrrrrrr....
I'm going to look like a moron when H1N1 kills millions. I really hope that doesn't happen.
I guess I'm going to bed now. Oh, one other thing! If you're reading this on facebook, it's because I imported my blog. The blog address is http://buffalopharmer.blogspot.com.
105 days and counting...
