I have a cold right now, but I tell people that I want to stay away from me that I may have the swine flu. *Cough*

I thought i had it for a while too.. I came down with a cold last weekend and was like shiet.. Do i have piggy flu? Kept checking my temperature to make sure I wasn't higher than normal.. lol

Several people were coughing and sneezing in my office.
Lucky they are not sitting too close to me.

You can still have the swine flu ... even with average temperatures for a fever.
Just means that your body fights the virus better.

And, Yes, having those schools in and near Chinatown does disturb me.
However, can't stress too much over what I have no control over.
I'm just glad my kid didn't get the flu.
