Swine Flue

Joseph’s Blog, October Twenty Eighth, 8:02 P.M
Hey, so this is my second blog and honestly, I’m a little upset I’ve waited this long to do it, I’m not really a procrastinator, and I really wanted to get this done yesterday, but with Halloween on the way, I just haven’t had the time. So, the topic for today is something that has been on everyone’s mind lately, swine flue. Honestly, I’m not worried about, and I’m not getting a vaccination, because people who have been getting have been getting sicker than they actually were. You understand that? And I know that people (doubting hippie parents) have been saying that since the beginning of vaccinations, but this is for a disease that really can’t hurt you. Ok, so a thousand people died, big deal, that’s no reason to worry, most of them were really young or old. Here’s the thing that people don’t get, the swine flu, despite being a slightly more severe flu, has a very minimal chance of actually killing you unless you’re an infant, one thousand years old or haven’t taken a decent shower in twenty seven years.
The other problem with swine flu that pisses me the fuck off is the fact that it causes so much damn hysteria. For example, Doug has the mike covers, but that is soft core shit compared to the larger scale of this world. Every time someone coughs, sneezes or shits funny they flip out. No, that’s boring, almost no one has swine flu and its not just going to happen to you because you coughed. People need to be educated, people who think they can get swine flue by touching a microphone are the reason the Holocaust happened, and the reason Wal-Mart is still in business. You know what would be nice for a change? If a disease came along, like the plague two, that actually was that deadly. Wouldn’t that be nice? I mean I would still have to listen to the freaking out day after day, but at least it would be warranted.
