Flu^3

We all have noticed the mass media hysteria around 'swine flu'. Give it a cool name and it feels more dangerous. Make it dangerous and sell more papers. Were there a high profile war going on, the press would have other things in mind. Now it is the flu, however.

What a coincidence that I just got my third flu virus infection this month only. Normally I get flu once/twice a year. Haven't caught the SWINE (it intimidates more in caps, doesn't it) version yet, though - so they say. I'm going to write to Guinness if I get my fourth infection.

All this even though I use Linux.
