Very true my parents are mexican so I feel like people thinks I have the flue....

I heard that scientist are worried that the flue would evolve(mutate) to something more deadly.

I you don't use public transportation, then you have nothing to fear about. But as for me, I take the train to school and yes, I have to be careful not to stand next to someone who may or may not have it.

lol very very little
