Flu season

I don't have it yet.  It is being forecasted all around the world.  At least 40 to 50% of us will get it.
The Swine Flu (imagine a demon smiley face here).
Oh, Oh Oh, Wait!  My bad!  It is N1H1!
I am going to be tarred and feathered by the pork industry for that little mishap.

Back to the beginning.  I don't have it yet.  Alot in my area and at my work don't have it yet.  But some are already mentally preparing for the worst.  Some teachers have a multitude of antibacterial solutions in their classrooms.  Students panic over the least little thing.  Oh My God!  I sneezed!  This is the beginning!  What ever shall I do?

Really, that is how some are reacting.  It is a crisis situation. 
Wait a minute.  That is how a lot of people in this world have been conditioned to react.  After the past 8 years of the fearmongers telling us every day if it is a code yellow or red or puce, that we have terrorists in our midst, that no one can be trusted if they question authority such as it is.  Blowing the flu out of proportion is just part of the daily process of life. 
If we let it be.

Of course, in writing this I will probably get the flu.  I will have to stay home and hope that someone catches the bus that hit me.  Then with all good hope and faith, I will get better.
We mostly do. 
The fearmongers will have to find something else....
Let me get my tinfoil hat.
