I've been recently reading a lot of articles about swine flu. I admit I have an interest in pandemics and these sorts of things. So even though I think the media totally goes overboard with it, I eat it up. Really, with all this talk of vaccination, it would make you think that you should get up right now and march down to the clinic. But really the precautions that people should do normally would probably suffice if people just did them. For example, if you work at a high traffic job and interact with lots of people, you could be a carrier easily for tons of diseases. Getting vaccinated just makes sense. If you exhibit symptoms such as a fever and coughing, stay home. Just like any other disease.
But the real kicker? People need to wash their damn hands. I can't tell you how many people I see that use the public restroom, specifically, the SECOND FLOOR OF KEMPER HALL at UC DAVIS, and don't wash their hands after going to either the stall, or the urinal. You know who you are.

I hate stupid people. Not washing hands is just another reason germs spread. GRRRR. You can tell we were talking about the news at work just now.
