Life in Plague-Time
It's hard to remember back to a time (a little over a week ago, actually) when we weren't all cowering in fear of swine flu, isn't it? In case you were already cowering in your safety room when it struck, here's a week's worth of swine flu from Boston.com in one quick swig...
To date, US deaths from swine flu: 1
Days it took for conservatives in the US to blame immigration: 1
Number of days before swine flu went viral online (or, as Nielson.com put it, became a "social media epidemic"), overtaking Susan Boyle: 3
Number of days of non-stop media hysteria before the swine struck back, blaming people: 4
Now, get back in your safety room. West Nile season is right around the corner!
my favorite take on swine flu is from Graham Murkett

Thanks for the link, se!
His take on Facebook is also hilariously spot-on.
