There was quite a media frenzy last spring for about a week when swine flu first got to everyone’s attention (and entire countries slaughtered all their cows, etc.), and then the frenzy started dying down (I guess the media lost interest). I remember my friends all saying how ridiculous that media frenzy had been, that it was just weeks later and it had all gone away. But the frenzy had gone away, not the flu. I remember hearing that Rupert Grint had it this summer.

I really hope I don’t get it. At least I don’t live alone, so I’d have someone to check on me (though maybe that would just get them sick, too).
