One time they SHUT DOWN EVERT+YTHING before I even infected another country! The hell, Madagascar, how do you know about some farmer in the ass-end of Russia having an undetectable disease?

And on the rother end, Greenland can be wiped out completely with the airports still open.
Advisor: "President Greenland! The entire world is dead, except for half of our population, the other half being infected, overwhelming our hospitals, BLEEDING OUT THEIR EYEBALLS AND DRIPPING INFECTIOUS GOO IN THE STREETS."
President Greenland:"Go away. Spongebob is on."
 
And this one comment I found sums it up entirely.

I didn't get vaccinated as I flew down to the Southern Hemisphere three weeks ago. Instead of lounging around in cold darkness catching influenza, I'm lounging around in 25 degree, cloudless weather and eating pćo de queijo. Y'all can suck it.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Didn't get vaccinated this year, for the first time in several years. So far, no flu.

I think our poll indicates that either the talk of epidemic is a bit overblown, or B12'ers tend to have [NO_SYNDROME] in their raws.

Honestly the Flu is like a Country to Country wave like the kind you do in ball games.

All this means to me is EVENTUALLY it will come all the way up to me and people will start to get sick and stay home.

"Epidemic" is just what Flu does, especially in winter.

Hmm....dawned on me that B12 might have abnormally low flu rates because we tend to be antisocial misfits who eschew being around other people in meatspace.  :-\

I think it's been going around the college I work at, but it hasn't hit me.

Now if you excuse me, I have to go knock on wood until the flesh on my knuckles is stripped down to the bone.

Fortunately, where I work sells OTC cold/flu medicine and packets of Emergen-C drink mix which has insane amounts of Vitamin C.
