With all this hype and negative opinion, I thought I would set the record straight in defense of H1N1 aka Swine Flu.
- Let’s start first with the superficial; it has a cool name! It’s catchy! [I've made the "it's catchy" joke several times and generated zero laughs though far
] - It’s drawing our attention away from other fun, contagious illnesses such as impetigo and STDs!
- Remember the Bird Flu? I know, I like, totally forgot about it too!
- It’s bringing people together in terror, hate, stupidity, and fear. Awwww, I love mob mentality.
- Hey, at least it’s not one of the other types of Influenza A or B comprising 39,827cases in the 2007-2008 season. (Swine Flu Fail: 226 cases, 1 death) [quick math: 2007-2008 225,329 specimens were tested; 18% (39,827) were positive for Influenza comparatively something like Swine Flu or H1N1 would make up .5% of the positives.]
- It’s reminding everyone about proper hygiene and how we spread illness.I totally saw a sign at the clinic when I took my mom to the doctor and they have those fun wipes at the grocery store!
- The drug companies are making more money!
- More lolcats!
Cheer up Sunshine!
