We have a panicdemic



While the World Health Organization has gone to threat level tapioca, the new strain of H1N1 Swine flu virus has killed ... one in America. A total of 45 cases have been confirmed in 9 countries and there have been a grand total of two confirmed deaths but 159 suspected deaths in Mexico. But that could change, especially in the U.S. where the recession cost the jobs and resources of the public health workers that would be necessary to fight the spread of the disease. The good news is that patient zero has been found in his Mexican mountain home. The bad news is that only one plant in America makes the appropriate vaccine which would require at least four to six months before it could be released to the public. Thanks to jet travel the virus could be spread far and wide. While there is no word on its effects on the drug wars, Mexican daily affairs seem to have ground to a halt. And while German officials are trying to keep their country calm, the rest of the world is trembling in fear of the rise of their new zombie overlords.
