Cover your mouth!

Well, swine flue has hit Georgia.

Given that I've been absolutely stunned at the sensationalism surrounding this whole thing - particularly when most medical experts keep saying 'this is serious, but it's not likely to morph into a scenario where Will Smith is holed up in New York City rooting out the dead by day and fighting off the undead by night' - I'm having a hard time processing how to interpret all of this.

Still, it's arguably a serious thing to be concerned about, so everyone should take all the precautions they should be taking on a daily basis ... wash your hands regularly (particularly before you eat or touch your face), avoid sick folks, drink plenty of fluids, exercise, stay home if you're sick, etc.

A good place for questions and answers is here.
