Fluville
Swine flu comes from animals and humans interacting.
The disease jumps the genus barrier and mutates from barnyard pet (or lunch) to keeper.
Wait.
Don't we just live in the greenest darn city on earth?
Isn't this the forward-loooking place that just voted to allow chickens in your back yard?
Oh, good.
In Mexico City, many, many people live in close proximity, right in the heart of the city, to pigs and chickens and goats. How cute.
Let me know when the tacos are ready, Compadre.

Reality check.
The SARS epidemic in Toronto had a fatality rate of about 10 per cent.
This current "swine flu" - which is not realy a swine flu - has a death rate is about 0.01 per cent.
I won't be going to Mexico anytime soon, so I need something else to feel scared about.
