Swine flu has 'pandemic potential'

[james.wired]

Exactly. Where there is horrible sanitation and lack of health care, viruses will spread like mad...but of course.

Or like you said waffle, in the USA's case it spreads to infants and the elderly mostly- people with a lack of immune system.

A worry would be to the 3rd world countries who have bad sanitation, horrible health care systems, and everyone has a bad immune system from the sanitation issues. I agree that the swine flu has been blown way out of proportion thanks to the media, but that doesn't mean it's not something to watch out for - especially in countries who can't handle it.

Friend of mine is claim that he might have it. He was going on about how he's coughing, he's got a fever, his back aches. He was making a big deal about it over the phone with me, and I just told him "It could be that you just have the flu because the both has the same simptons.

Seriously, if I was getting sick right now, I would not be really worried about it until the doc told me otherwise.
