Swine Flu

Okay, enough with the swine flu already. I'm done with it. No longer interested. Let's move on to a new topic in the news.

Also, I read that Russia is protecting themselves against infection by installing thermal-screening machines in the Moscow airport that will "screen" passengers and alert them if someone is bringing in the flu. I am not sure how exactly this works...so I'm assuming it has to do with body temperature, and whether or not a person has a fever. They say they have set up the airport as a quarantine area in case they have any suspected cases.

So of course now I'm picturing: Jim or myself (who am I kidding, it will be me) stepping off the plane a little bit warmer than usual, and having nets thrown over me while sirens go off and Russian soldiers in gas masks seal me up and take me to a rubber room for a month or so. And this is being optimistic that they even let us in the country.

Enough already. It's the flu. Everyone please just stop sharing bodily fluids, and wash your hands.
