    Wow. "Dole," "squirts," and "swine" all in one headline. You would've received bonus points for sneaking in "pope," or "rectory." #holywater

    @Software_Goddess: I read too quickly and saw, "Atomic Holy Water Dispenser." Needless to say, such a device probably would radiate good will. #holywater

    Well, Flu season has barely started. Fortunately, h1n1 is still no more severe than normal flu. But infection rates are unprecedented. Just take a look at the graph here: [www.cdc.gov]
    We are 25% higher than the peak of last season, and we are still in the 200940's. the peak will likely happen between 200950 and 201010 on the x-axis.
    I and all my family (including my 7 month old) have gotten the h1n1 shot. No ill effects whatsoever.

    When should we prepare for the avian fl- oh wait, the scare of bird flu already passed. Years ago. Just like swine flu will. #swineflu

    @dragon: ONE: the difference is that avian flu never went pandemic. It still does not easily pass human-to-human. One mutation could make it so. Then we have a real problem on our hands - because all evidence indicates avian flu is significantly more fatal than even the 1918 A strain. #swineflu

    @chauncy that billups: But will such a freaky mutation occur sending this into pandemic territory? SPOILER: No. But the media will talk spooky talk about it 24/7 for years anyway. #swineflu

    @Thomas Thorne: not really freaky, but really mundane. H5n1 (avian flu) doesn't infect humans well because it doesn't bind to mucus membranes in the front of the nasal cavity like human flus (h1n1, h3n1) do. If it reassorts with, say, h1n1 in the body of some unlucky human or bird, it could very easily become highly infectious. That type of thing happens with influenza. Not often, fortunately. But definitely possible. #swineflu
