Yeah, as a misanthrope who just watched a documentary about Yellow Fever (and how the one guy who was correct about it's transmission was a laughing stock for years, until he proved you got it from mosquitos, by...letting mosquitos bite patients and then having them bite his friends and himself) and AIDS in Africa this weekend...meh.

It's such a load of crap, it's just a media hype, as long as we don't eat roar chickens or try to screw swans we'll be ok, the media has blown this thing way out of proportion.

Oh no, not roar chickens!!!

That's pretty disturbing that they expect that many people to die.
