Well you can blame the people in Little Village, Pilsen and other areas of the city then. They are the ones wearing masks in the city and telling people not to shake hands. Perhaps they know something many others are being oblivious to?

OH for the record, if I start vomiting everywhere, I'll go to the doctor. I don't find it necessary right now, when I'm pretty sure my sinus headaches and asthma like symptoms are because of the trees, or whatever wonderful thing blooming this spring (i.e. been happening for about a month now), and if I decided to go all hypochondriac like some people are, I'd be more likely to be sitting next to someone in the waiting room that ACTUALLY HAS IT, or the plain ol' flu, even.

Last month the stock market was going to crash because of the housing market, last week it was because Obama shook hands with Hugo Chavez (which is I'M SURE what started this whole swine flu, i'm sure, it's all Obama's fault), now it's going to crash because of the flu.
Yawn. I just think it's funny the way people are PANICKING about it instead of being careful and going on about their day.

I have pollen allergies. I have not been feeling crappy for a month.
The trees in the city just started blooming 10-14 days ago. If you have been feeling crappy for a month I do not think the problem is pollen.

You clearly know nothing about the stock market, this is ever evident. The stock market isnt crashing because of the housing market. If anything we have recently seen a bull market because the housing market is starting to see an increase. Mainly because of the $8000 tax credit incentives. Secondly you will be thanking Obama in a few short months now that Hugo Chavez is not an enemy of the United States. Venezuela has a plethora of crude oil. People are panicking because this pandemic could infect everyone, not just old and young.
