Whatever, it's epic anyway, I was laughing for a full minute. =D that is not shopped at all... I was confused as ♥♥♥♥, how did they have a hurricane, a drought and a flood all at once?! -edit Oh yeah, they deployed a vaccine, it didn't work, they started a 2nd one, then they ran out of hospitals... it took them 20 days to make the vaccine... wtf. |

Swine flu isn't spreading as much as we thought. Well damn, here we were on the brink of extinction just to be told it's gonna be fine. I should have put money on this. |

Well damn, here we were on the brink of extinction just to be told it's gonna be fine. I should have put money on this. Just to cover my ass before this thread starts to die: I never said it was going to be a lethal pandemic. I said it was something to worry about, and I still stand by that statement! The strain did turn out to contain a gene we do not have a natural immunity to, and it did end up spreading to a good number of countries. Although immunity to tamiflu hasn't happened, and probably won't, the concept wasn't totally out of consideration considering how irresponsibly it is used. |

I thought that the BBC and The New York Times took it on in a pretty docile way. I don't have TV in my dorm, though, so I really have no idea what it's been like on any of the major news channels. Got any good clips? |
