Swine Flu

We're showing those pigs who's boss:

The growing worry now seems to be that this will bounce around during the "off" season, swap some genes with other strains, and come back in a serious way in the fall. Unlike the Spanish Flu, however, there shouldn't be any trench warfare going on.

Maybe it would be good to get this flu as soon as possible then. "Excuse me sir, could you cough on me?"
 
The problem is that it is not clear why this year's regular vaccine didn't seem to imbue any immunity. It's possible for this strain to swap enough genes that having caught it this spring would not stop you from getting it again this fall.
 
Even when wearing glasses?

Nice, nice. Make sure you invest in the polarized lenses for complete protection. : )

I have a friend that is an infectious disease specialist and it is so easy to get him going by suggesting you heard you can get swine flu some incorrect way. Like that you can get it from eating pork or touching a pig.

Its even better to suggest something that sounds ignorant but in reality is ridiculous like looking a pig in the eyes!
 
Hotlinked but apropos.
