ONOEZ DOES LUDWIG HAVE SWINE FLU?! ...No, I don't. But I did get an awesome hospital mask thingy now. I'm gonna wear it as a fashion statement. And it's practical. It's kinda hard to breathe but that's the point. ...Discuss swine flu and your precautions, or even if it is worth precautioning against. Will it end up like the Influenza Epidemic of 1918? Is it just silly?

One of my peers in school actually has a mask, but I believe that it wasn't because of awareness to the virus, moreso of it being a fashion statement.
It's black with a white superficial X crossed over it, so I'm guessing it's anime inspired.

People who freaked out about H1N1 are retarded. ITS THE FREAKING FLU. It doesn't cause any lasting effects unless you already have a health condition, are REALLY stupid, or just plain unlucky. But people go "OMG SWINE FLU WE GONNA ALL DIE!" No. I say not.

We bought a box of (purple <3) masks just in case, but it doesn't look like I will actually be using them.
I haven't had Swine Flu yet, and I don't think I will catch it, but I'm still kinda concerned. I really, really don't wanna get it. >_>

Yeh, a lot of people at school have been gone for like a week 'cause of it.
...And I don't want to get it simply 'cause make-up work scares me.

A few cases are confirmed at my University. Though, it's not that serious I think. All the deaths are in children and older people, which are the high risk ages, as well as the sick.
I saw a guy with a mask today.

Yeah I think people pretty much just freaked out too much about it. Doesn't seem like it's going much worse than the regular flu. I want masks but then I would also want to cosplay as Young Phoenix Wright for whenever I wear them.

I had to wear a mask when I went in for a check-up just because it was suspected I had H1N1. Turns out I didn't. Didn't like the mask, either.

There really isn't much to this swine flu nonsense beyond paranoia fuel. I mean, the latest in swine flu news is... a cat got it.
That's it.

I have a kick ass immune system, so I have no precautions. <3
Although, at a stock show meeting the Ag Ed teacher told us to start calling it "H1N1" rather than "swine flu" so people won't be hesistant to go to hog shows. I found it rather lulzy.

But if they were swine flu pigs, who wants to eat them? Think with your mind man, Toadster.

Exactly. Unless they really hate America, they're not going to be turning over all the meat from the butchering because they think it's infected.

(I'm eating ham right now) No, we steal other things from them. That makes them hate us, so they sell us the "infected" meat at low prices.
