I agree with Zen and Sinsull. The media is having a field day over this.

Pandemic is a scarry sounding word ... but the definition is rational and certainly not so dramatic.

As to taking percations ... this whole thing is a good test run for WHO, and hopefully will make us more aware and also teach our kids to follow and develop good hygene habits. We can teach them to use the toilette at an early age, therefore we can tach them to wash their hands often, and to sneeze into a tissue.
