    I've heard migrating north can help treat the Ebola virus. North and west. Whatever you do, don't go south, west, or Sydney. Definitely don't go Sydney. It'll only make it worse.

    @ Fenix

    - There is a term we call those type of people who fear having illness such as those... "Hypocondriac"
    - Of course we know that its just your whim saying your now avoiding pork....

    but in layman's term we call them type of guys... a Chicken!

    Lol,..

    I hope everyone who's ever said that to me is referring to one circle, because there'll be far too few otherwise.

    Also, I never knew "shrug" was an article of clothing as well as an action. Thank you, Google images.

    Uh.

    No.

    A hyphochondriac is someone with a compulsive disorder. No matter what's giong around, they think they already have it. Flu's going around? 'Oh yeah, I caught it last week.' A nasty yet not really contagious cold? 'I was the first on my street to get it.' Even if they're perfectly healthy, they think they have it.

    And chicken? Are you freakin' serious? Yeah, I'm a coward for avoiding a food that now TWO major illnesses have been related to, not to mention the fact that, if it's not cooked well enough, you can get all kinds of pathogens from, up to and including worms.

    @ Fenix. I'd hardly call swine flu a major illness. It's not really a major anything, besides being a major media cock up. As for undercooking, that goes for just about any meat. Chicken is just terrible if it hasn't been cooked properly, and I think beef's the king of the worms.

    You can't just give up on meat because it could contain pathogens if you don't cook it. That's like saying you won't wear shoes because you might trip on your own shoelace. I mean, why do you think everyone soaks their food in iodine before they eat it? At the rate you're going you're looking as though you'll give up human too, just because they're associated with so many diseases.

    Swine flu, perhaps not. But influenza? Hell yes. Remember 1918? I sure do.

    Spanish flu? Most of those deaths would have been as a result of humans spreading it to humans. Unless you're going to get everyone to stop eating pork, it's not going to achieve much.

    In more important terms, remember the great Irish potato famine? If we're learnt anything from that, it's that we should have stockpiles of beef, lamb, and meats of every kind in our freezers, and herds of cows, pigs and chickens in our yard, just in case the crops turn their back on us again...

    Aye, that was a sad time for my distant 1/8 cousins, but they pulled through, well some of them anyway.

    No one needs to live for hundreds of years to remember 1918. Under a hundred actually.

    Well, you'd probably need to live for over a hundred years. I mean, who's going to remember what they did when they were that young at that age?

    If you were born in 1910, you'd probably remember it.

    And Meee, I got it after I posted.

    Although according to SC, I would've been pretty young still.
