Quote:The mexican flu, or swine flu or 2009 flu pandemic. It started slowly but now there are thousands infected and almost 1000 deaths world wide.
Just under 1,000 deaths worldwide? The world population is 6,706,993,152 according to Google. I bet more people worldwide die every year from climbing a ladder to paint some window shutters, fall off the ladder and break one or more legs, and then crawl painfully to the nearest phone to call 911 only to stab themselves in the ear with a powerdrill which they thought was a phone. In those exact set of circumstances.
I'm not especially scared about swine flu. I'm more concerned about breaking a baby toe by stubbing it on something and having a tiny shard of bone run through my circulatory system straight to my heart:(
