#1 Fortunately, between the reasonalbly good public health services, and given our current paranoia WRT any kind of infectious disease, the likely hood of a repeat of the 1918 flu pandemic is medium-low.

Not that this is an excuse to slack off. Wash your filthy paws, and cover (or avert) your face when you sneeze, you pigs!

#2 In a first world country with good medical care, yes. In the rest of the world, look out.

#3 Well at least I got an early start. I don't feel achey or feverish, but my throat feels like its full of sand grains and I have lung congestion, all of which started around last Saturday. Just my luck...

#4 Bar--If you think you might be getting a cold instead of the flu, go get yourself some Zicam stat! That stuff is great for bringing a cold to its knees before it can do it to you.

#5 Our local hospital has solved the problem...anyone who arrives at the door with a fever or feeling unwell is asked to go away...go home...leave.

You know state medicare is on the ropes when they refuse to treat sick people.
