"First there was bird flu and now we get to experience swine flu. Quick! Get a surgical mask, wash your hands, lock your doors, and don't go outside. No, just kidding, don't do that. Well, wash your hands, but you don't have to quarantine yourself (unless you actually have swine flu, then stay away from me!)"
