I have been busy prepping the race-Spridget for the ~Jeff 500~. I think I have ingested so much Brake-Klean and carb cleaner that any germs entering my lungs will die right away. 
Seriously, wash your hands....I have a bottle of alcohol gel hand-cleaner on my desk and in my car.
I use alcohol the way god intended, in a tumbler with a little ice and some diet Coke.
My concern is that this obviously engineered epidemic is Mexicos opportunity to remove the rest of the non Mexicans from their continent. Their spy network has already infiltrated our construction and food industries. It is only time before North America is back to Aztlan*
Really, how obvious?
My Dad bought the "Apocolypse kit" for both Y2K, and theeee biiiirrrrddd fluuuuuuuuuuuu. I'm getting a little sick of the phone calls telling me about the next sure sign of the second coming. Hope I didn't just jinx it for anyone.
IF I was going to get all conspiracy theory, I'd look toward "Tamiflu," and who's making berkeley tons of money on their stock right about now.
Seriously, I've been coughing up blood for the past two days and just heard about this E36 M3 today, should I be worried? Also lost my voice.
guy from israel said: "The outbreak of swine flu should be renamed "Mexican" influenza in deference to Muslim and Jewish sensitivities over pork, said an Israeli health official Monday. Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman said the reference to pigs is offensive to both religions and "we should call this Mexican flu and not swine flu," he told a news conference at a hospital in central Israel."
So Bubons should have been offended by the bubonic plague?
It is not supposed to be something you are comfortable with you morons, if the name makes you feel like you want to have no contact with it then it is a GOOD thing.
Everyone concerned about changing the name of the virus should get the virus first then decide a name before they get any treatment.
He should be glad they aren't calling it Litzman's bloody, vomity death syndrome.

berkleyed any pigs lately? No? then youre good
Ive heard by the 1943672564 hours of news coverage that this flu has typical flu symptoms ...i.e. fever, bodyaches, respiratory symptoms etc, but is marked by very high fever. If you have these, stay home from work and see your doc, otherwise, stop drinking the lye koolaid, and youll be fine
The answer to this disease is the increased production of Bacon to reduce the population of potential Swine carriers. Although unconfirmed in effectiveness, I am attempting to immunize myself by horking on some thick-cut hickory smoked stuff right now.

Wait, this disease is confined to the Ozarks?

If your culture won't eat pork because you think pigs are dirty, why would you find it offensive to state that they carry a serious communicable disease? Shouldn't that justify your feelings about them?
Salanis, leave your logic and well conceived ideas at the door.
They have no place in the newsroom.
changed.
uhhh...what he said.

My neighbor across the street came over around mid November 1999, was making small talk and said, 'You made any plans?'
Uh, other than buying beer this afternoon? No.
'No, I mean Y2K plans.'
Um, nope.
He got this really worried look on his face and said 'you aren't concerned for your family?' Nope, not a bit. Turns out he had stockpiled a lot of canned goods, bottled water, etc for the coming apocalypse and just couldn't believe I wasn't doing the same.
I didn't need to make plans.
I was gonna bust into HIS house if it all went bad.
friend of mines dad sold their house, packed up the family and moved everyone to the middle of nowhere texas, bought a 4x4 (toyota, and modern, dunno wtf) pickup, a bunch of guns and stockpiled canned goods for the impending doom of y2k.
i remember overhearing a conversation between a lady and a convenience store clerk round about that time, she said the water was going to stop flowing, and all of our cars would stop working. i figure if a computer thing makes gravity stop working, we've got bigger issues.

Last hurricane season, as Ike was approaching, a good friend of mine and I joked that we didn't care that all the stores were out of food, water, gasoline, and batteries, because we had plenty of ammunition.

Uhhh that is a plan 
And seriously WASH YOUR FREAKING HANDS PEOPLE, it's pretty simple really.

Coming from a family of pilots, we actually had a little something of a Y2K plan. It was to not try to file an IFR flight plan on New Year's Day. But I don't think we had plans to do any flying anyway.
here is a fun statistic for you, 1 in 3 men leave the restroom without washing thier hands... I see it more often than not, so I believe it. WASH YOUR HANDS!
i am not a germaphobe, but I hate it when people leave the bathroom without washing...
One of our porters just killed me:
Driveling news chanel talking head "What is the best way to avoid swine flu?"
Porter "Don't talk to pigs or Mexicans"
And particularly avoid Mexican pigs. 
My friends on Canada (it's like a whole other planet) say the news rumor up there is that it started on Canada, went to Mexico, then came back up into the U.S. I said, so, like, it's really the Canadian Flu?
Okay, so Canadians berkeley pigs. Who knew? Guess you gotta have something to do in -40 winters.

i know i made sure to grab a couple extra boxes of jhp while we were grabbing supplies at walmart the week before.
A coworker, earlier today:
"Swine flu? Is that like the avian flu that was supposed to bring Armageddon and then didn't kill more than like 3 people in this country?"
Srsly.
