swine who?

i hate to admit it but my life has been so hectic lately that i havent given much thought to the "swine flu plague". last week i did actually see an elderly woman wearing a surgical mask. its great. she's shielding her mouth so whatever she is emitting wont spring into my air.
im not saying we shouldnt be careful, but i think that the media is going overboard. ive never heard of so many schools being shut down due to an illness that it doesnt seem like too many people have contracted. b"h . i suppose i could say that there arent so many cases of swine flu because the schools have been closed, but im not completely sold on that concept.
though im not busy obsessing about swine flu i do think that people should take heed of personal hygeine like washing one's hands when one come's home after riding public transportation, etc.
to health! l'chaim!

sounds like my crazy aunt-in-law. whenever she has a cold and has to go to a family function, she wears a surgical mask. it scares my little nephews.

I think they are over reacting, but it killed many in mecxico.

Swine flew? Where?! I wanna see!

It's mostly from people's stupidity. Someone said something somewhere so before checking facts, let's all go looting and run for Canada. Ridiculous about yeshivas closing down w/o any cases and on the advice of some imaginary doctor.
