Well, this is cheery news...

The WHO is predicting a flu pandemic within the next few years.

No, getting that shot won't help, so don't bother. The best way to avoid a disease like this is: 1. wash your hands often 2. stay away from sick people 3. wash your hands MORE often and 4. invest in a surgical mask or better.

And if you die, well, best wishes.

If I wore gloves while checking groceries, people would think I was some kind of freak. I can carry hand sanitizer, though.

I just think the media, as always, is trying to scare us. It seems like every time there is a warning of some outbreak, epicemic or terrorist threat, everyone panics, and nothing happens.

*epidemic*, too.

Hand sanitizer is a good thing, then :)
