H1N1

This whole Swine Flu parade that the news media has just recently joined is starting to scare me.  I'm not sure if that's the media's intent, but it sure does seem like they're trying to scare someone. Personally, I think it would be better for them to instruct people on the proper methods for fighting germs and in this case the H1N1 Virus, which is apparently not related to pigs at all.  Honestly, this whole thing is a little upsetting.  People in Mexico are walking around with surgical masks, and things look pretty serious over there.  Luckily, the cases in the United States seem to be much less serious, and I'm hoping that it stays that way. 

I really hope this doesn't mess up my trip.  :(
