    No, click on the link... it's a flesh eating disease... said on the news it starts off looking like a pimple or bug bite- highly contagious and used to be mainly contained to hospitals...

    Suuuuuree... ;)


    Jk... I'm actually not worried either. Just been hearing about it a lot around here and didn't know if it was just around here.... I mean I would be worried though if people right near me started getting it (like my apt. complex or some shit, heh)

    I'm a post modern apocalyptic. I welcome the end times.

    Bring it on MERSA!

    I remember SARS was two years ago. Then Bird Flu. Once I see many people are dying, I'll be worried.

    untill then, I say hype.

    That is until you're overrun by the dying and infected fleeing the surrounding cities and towns who were ravaged by the disease [​IMG]

    likely. it's nothing really new. but the media has latched onto it pretty fucking hard, since all the old stuff like iraq, immigration, education, taxation and such has lost it's ability to TERRIFY the typical news viewer.

    yeah. it's pertty common anywhere you have loads of people and activity. especially hospitals, places where people aren't know for their hygiene or ability to stay home when they're ill, or where the sheer number of people walking through there on a daily basis and the funds available make it impossible for the puny hypochodriacal (made up word i think) american immune system to handle. my god, we live in a hyper medicated society now. no wonder everyone is getting sick.
