There are over a thousand reported cases of -A- flu, not necessarily Swine Flu. It is impossible to confirm them all so quickly.

[Nilocy]

Results will be in within 3 days they say. Cross yer fingers folks!

Well, I did have a Mysterious Disease a few days ago, didn't ask my doctor because I see my doctor every week or so and she's probably tired of hearing about my lead poisoning or whatever hypochondriac idea I have this time. I also live quite close to the Mexican border and repeatedly went to my school ill. I think I may have singlehandedly infected everyone I know. FUN. Whatever, probably just my hypochondriasis talking.

[Ampersand]

MEDIC!

[Daft]

Music to my ears.

I have a flu, and there are a few exchange students from Mexico in three of my classes.

It was fun while it lasted. 

[Ampersand]

Unless they showed up yesterday, you have nothing to worry about.

[Jim Groovester]

The question is, is this new type of flu more deadly than the flu we normally suffer through? The flu we typically know already kills several thousand people each flu season.

[Ampersand]

It killed more than eighty people in Mexico, with more suspected but unproven flu-related deaths. It has no vaccine and is a new strain that no one has natural immunity to. In addition, it seems especially dangerous to healthy young adults.

what about Tamiflu?

[Strife26]

Aw crap... I've been feeling pretty sick lately... Should I be writing a will or something?

Aw man, I think I remember that Joe and Aqizzar both live in Texas.

Alright, Joe's a goner, but we can salvage Aqizzar.

I need you to follow these simple instructions:

1. Don't eat any weird food.
2. Don't drink any dirty water.
3. Don't kiss any Mexicans.

That should just about do it.

Me: not a medical professional.

You forgot
4. Do NOT kiss Sniper Joe.

[Ampersand]

what about Tamiflu?

Tamiflu and Relenza are useful in the treatment of the disease, but they are not vaccinations, they are anti-virals.

Also, it appears that the illness is spreading, as possible cases in the united states have shot up from 100+ nation wide to 200+ in New York alone. It seems clear to me it's hit the international airports, but only over-sea confirmations can decide that for certain.

You forgot
4. Do NOT kiss Sniper Joe.

:*(

In other news, Google image search gives no good results for "single tear".

[Gunner-Chan]

Aww... What about a hug?

[Daft]

No, you can't even be near him. He might sneeze at any moment. I suggest wrapping the infected in plastic and avoiding anything he has been near for the last several weeks.
