link source [html] | CBS 2 HD has learned of a confirmed case of swine flu at the Ernst & Young headquarters in Times Square. One of the staffers became ill over the weekend after coming into contact with a family member who had been exposed to the virus. The staffer is said to be resting at home and the company believes, due to the virus' 24-hour incubation period, that no one else at Ernst & Young was exposed. Earlier Monday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg confirmed 20 new cases of swine flu in New York City, in addition to the eight that were confirmed over the weekend. It is not known if the Ernst & Young case is related to the outbreak at St. Francis Prep in Queens, where several students had recently traveled to Mexico. In addition, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services has identified five probable cases of swine flu and is currently arranging for confirmatory testing at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. oh god

The flu changes every so often. The virus changed and adapts to the vaccine and changes. That's why I never get my flu shot. I know I'm a horrible person.

Well, the count is certainly jumping higher, but I still don't fear a deadly pandemic. Swine flu is something you can get around with a vaccine.

here we go again. there are epidemics like this every year.. it just so happens that this one is pretty new, a bit more widespread than past ones, and more prevalent in media.

Tamiflu and Relenza won't help much. Only repetitive and passionate love making will. And the occasional doggy style.
