Oh fvck.

Not this [censored] again. First it was SARS then it was The Swine Flu, then it was the next great pandemic. What a bunch of fear-mongering horseschit.

Besides, the planet could really use a lot less people, so another plague would be kinda nice.

Oh no, it's coming right for us!

Let's bomb India.

Fish on...

We've got enough to worry about already with MRSA.

Gored myself in the abdomen = hernia.
Hernia = Surgery
Surgery = MRSA
MRSA = steroids and antibiotics.
Steroids = extra 30 pounds.
Antibiotics = full blown allergic reaction.
Allergic reaction = whacked out immune system
whacked out immune system = immunosuppressant same dose as a transplant patient.
immunosuppressant = ICU they thought it was a heart attack
ICU = angiogram showing veins and arteries were swollen
took about five years to get my strength back and I'm still on an immunosuppresant.
Morphine = priceless
Moral of the story: get tested before any surgery. You can prove you didn't come in with it but if you did they can treat you before they open you up. You don't want MRSA!!

I've heard peeps say that getting checked for MRSA prior to any surgery was smart, but by stlhead's experience it sounds mandatory to me.
