Pandemic Breaks Out
Jaxx:
My apologies, I've actually only had it twice in the winter. One bad thing about going to the Bahamas. Aztec's Revenge That Managed To Cross An Ocean.

Exactly.
It'll just be another disease that everyone gets hyped over, but the hype is for a reason, for if whenever the virus does become deadly they don't want everyone to have it and die.
yuki:
Overblown virus media whoring. Nothing is going to happen. People here are saying "Oh my god, 142 people died in Mexico!"
People die from DRINKING THE WATER in Mexico.

Thing about viruses is that they can mutate at any time, that's what makes them so hard to find a cure for. I just don't like being sick in general, but I do think this is over hyped, the only reason that 150 people have died in Mexico is because the people who got it were dirty poor farmers without doctors. I think we'll be fine, 64 cases in the U.S. so far, big deal. I hope don't think it will get that far. And I agree with the guy above, Mexican's die every day from poor health conditions.
Solid:
You guys remember the 1918 influenza outbreak?
It killed so many people, that it had no more people to kill and couldn't go anywhere. So it just died out.
Saying nothing is going to happen is like saying you can look into the future, you can't.
