Swine flu

What do you think about all of this swine flu business?

On the larger scale, cautious optimism. The strain that's causing trouble is a new configuration of known nasties, and it's beatable. This is a kill-hundreds disease, not a kill-millions disease. It's not time to worry until there are bits we've never seen before and don't know what to do about them.

Closer to (metaphorical) home, my sister is pretty seriously immunocompromised these days, and I'm really concerned it's going to start showing up around Atlanta. I'd just as soon she not be one of the hundreds.
