Well, it has the potential to become a pandemic since it's happened before with swine flu. Flu strains EVOLVE in case you didn't know. Besides, the reason it's become so popular on the news is not because they want attention, it's for global awareness.

I wouldn't call it a pandemic though. An out break, ok. But a pandemic is slightly extreme.

Oh, and Paula got it. That makes me sad. =(
What the heck? When did I get swine flu?
