   I don’t panic, I just wash my hands and carry on.

   I love the way the media first fanned the flames of the panic, and now are rushing out stories on how the media first fanned the flames of the panic…

   Actually Stew, he’s not a sockpuppet, he’s a hijacker..which is much worse.

   Was this an instance of the HOWGOZIT impostor?

   Does hijacking happen very often? Evidentally (and understandably) it is a major no-no.

   Must have been…the real Howie would never speak out against Stewie.

   Deaheadzan, I’ve only seen it happen once. Most forums, once a user name is taken won’t allow anyone else to take it.

   What’s a lot more common is to take someone’s name and change the spelling slightly. For example deadheadzan becomes deadheadSzan.

    It takes more than one to panic; one to cry wolf and a whole bunch of people to believe him.

    As of May 6 the swine flu issue is so over. How long did that take? 2 weeks?

    Well, at least the headline coverage of it seems to be over.

    But I’ll bet the CDC is still working on it.

    Not quite. We just have had a prediction from WHO that it may become a pandemic stretching out over two years and affecting as many as 2 billion. Thing is, they also expect that most of them will not even know they have it.

    Fennic, as you point out, it might stretch out over 2 years and affect 2 billion but if it isn’t deadly it joins the ranks of viruses that have been and ever shall be.
