I've already killed 6 people named Joe today--what have YOU done to protect our country from the Swine flu?

Most of those that will die probably have compromised immune systems (cancer, chemotherapy, HIV, pregnancy, alcoholics/drug addicts, infants, very old people). Add to that the fact that tons of people already have had the virus and recovered from it without knowing it, and this flu looks mostly like any other.

I actually am sick right now, but the symptoms don't match. I kind of wish I did have it, so that I could get the antibodies and get it over with.

We had a special meeting at work. It's good to know that there are sterile wipes and cans of Lysol available. I asked about rubber gloves, facemasks and hazmat suits, but no luck there.

I'd push for flamethrowers, never know when your coworkers might go resident evil on you.

The World Health Organization announced Thursday it will would stop using the term "swine flu" to avoid confusion over the danger posed by pigs. The policy shift came a day after Egypt began slaughtering thousands of pigs in a misguided effort to prevent swine flu.

WHO spokesman Dick Thompson said the agriculture industry and the U.N. food agency had expressed concerns that the term "swine flu" was misleading consumers and needlessly causing countries to ban pork products and order the slaughter of pigs.

"Rather than calling this swine flu ... we're going to stick with the technical scientific name H1N1 influenza A," Thompson said.

Egypt began slaughtering its roughly 300,000 pigs Wednesday even though experts said swine flu is not linked to pigs and not spread by eating pork. Angry farmers protested the government degree.

You just can't make this shit up.

It's been all downhill since Cleopatra.

Can we call it the Cavs flu?
