NOOOOOOOO…..
Breaking News: They have found the source of Swine Flu. Sadly the animal accused of transferring the N3232 H9799 virus to humans was euthanized and made into breakfast patties :-/
At my graduation we were told not to shake the hands of the presenters or anyone on stage for fear of Swine Flu. Although the flu itself is nowhere near as dramatic as the cult classic [WARNING... GRAPHIC] 28 Weeks Later, the fact that even human touch is being considered a threat to our existence is troubling. I mean where would we be without hugs, handshakes, dapps, high fives.. {sniffle}. Its pretty wild to think about how much things have changed over the past 10 years. I’m not a old cat but I do know that my life was a lot more simple with my Saturday morning cartoons, Cocoa Puffs, endless summer evenings, and the warm feeling of hugging my mother. Now I gotta think about not catching some infection that’s gonna turn me into a Monday evening breaking news clip…
Even Goolge has gotten into the business of keeping us scared (but informed) by introducing a “know the outbreak region” that shows you with neat little blood red pins where not to get your morning latte… Developers of the application say that it will allow you the citizen to be a CDC sleuth and report when Grandma’s test results come up positive for the piggy sickness… Or at least if you assume, you can make others as terrified as you are. Well in 2009 we have seen news reporting get outsourced to Twitter and critical health information get outsourced to Americans with an iPhone. What a country!!!
Check out the article posted on WIRED for more info on how you can join the CDC plague reporting crew…
