And, of course people are already cashing in via Ebay...

Not here in Orange (only a few miles from Disneyland).

More than a year ago the city had purchased Purell foam dispensers for public areas as part of some germophobe's pork project. We got a bunch of them at the library and quickly stuck them in storage, as we weren't bothered to worry about keeping them filled. Seems someone remembered them and now we've got them out along with "Cover When You Cough" signs from the CDC.

Hint: If you really want a mask, head over to Home Depot and look in the paint department.

Or, come over and borrow Chris' gas mask.

What's with the masks anyway? This is not an airbourne virus. It's a flu strain passed primarily by touch.

Hand sanitizer is good, as always. As is washing your hands at every reasonable option. But it's not coming in through your mouth unless you put your tainted hand in there.





(Or you like to lick places you shouldn't ... but then swine flu is the least of your problems, you swine.)

It's called OVERREACTION!


BTW, did you know there is a Nuclear Plant just down the coast? It might blow some day.

What? I guess this weekend I'll be busy building a fall out shelter.

and the wolfpack will be moving in!

The Asian community has been using the masks at Disneyland lately, but I think that started long before the threat of Swine Flu.

Generally in the Asian cultures where the mask wearing is common it isn't a sign that the person is worried about getting sick but rather that they are in some way sick and trying to avoid passing it on.

So the opposite of wearing one on the train because it is packed with dirty dirty humans.

DAMMIT!!!!!!!
