Swine flu hasn't left anyone's mind, and it shows. 'H1N1‘ has been a trending topic for months, and it’s a good thing. Everyone is staying alert and not sleeping on something that’s got it out for the human race. And this isn’t like Y2K. This might happen. Before you know it, the epidemic will occur, families will be torn apart, and Dustin Hoffman and Rene Russo will be racing against the clock to find an antidote.
So what’s the update? Well, there’s a vaccine soon to be widely available. But there’s all kinds of skepticism about a vaccine that hasn’t been extensively tested. In trying to protect yourself, you might just contract the virus. This is a phenomenon that scientists are referring to as a ‘bummer’. If you are under age 24, then you haven’t been in our germ and virus filled world long enough to have the immunity to fight this bastard off. If you’re older than 24, then you are a superhuman person your chances are a bit better, unless you haven’t been exposing yourself to the elements your whole life.
Bet you didn’t think that germohpobic lifestyle would come back to bite you. You though you were being hygenic, with your travel sized Purell and your Lysol, but now that neighbor kid making mud pies in his yard doesn’t look so stupid, huh? Well, you better sign up for a flu shot.
