Swine flu



LOL on the picture.
So the swine flu epidemic is actually alot bigger than everyone had expected and it is getting the best of the global population, or at least those I can see. Even here at UT, everyone is scared shitless for the swine flu. This is so apparent because those hand sanitizers are applied on every wall in every building. People stare you with glaring, evil eyes when you cough in class, and you have to wear masks when you want to see the nurse at the SSB. I actually really wanted the epidemic to be huge so that the school would close down. Never happened, so sad.
In Korea, where I am from, the swine flu epidemic is really big. Every day on the news, people are dying or are diagnosed with the swine flu. My friend tells me that everyone wears masks everywhere they go because of the fear of the H1N1. I wonder if the swine flu is actually a big deal in the states but the government is hiding the truth and the true statistic about it from the citizens. If that is the case, that is extremely upsetting because people are actually dropping and dying from it.
A Korean celebrity's son passed away two days ago from the swine flu and it was splashed across the news as one of the top stories. He died two days after being diagnosed with the swine flu. It is sad, but the true situation right now.
People be careful!!! and always wash your hands. :)
