Question about this here global debacle

The swine flu is susceptible to four drugs licensed in the United States, amantadine, rimantadine, oseltamivir and zanamivir.

If it acts like the regular flu and can be treated with these drugs, why are people acting like it's the resurrection of the Bubonic Plague?

Just curious for thoughts and facts.

Oh those crazy Mayans... or are they?

Anyone else ever read up on this stuff? Thoughts? Predictions? Thoughts on my craziness?

I have developed this

Over the last couple of months as the election drew near, I believe that I have developed this phobia:
Allodoxaphobia
Fear of: opinions

Has everyone voted early? Is anyone waiting to do it on THE day? Will you be one of the crazies brandishing a sign on the street and attacking anyone with different views with it as though it were a clublike, armor-breaking weapon of war, often with a flanged or spiked metal head, used chiefly in the Middle Ages?

Will I be out of my mind to try to get it done with Athena in tow?
