If I am sick and I am going to travel, I'll take some sleeping pills and fever reducers with me.  A large dose of coffee (or whatever keeps you awake) 30 minutes before you step into the airport.  Ground crew may refuse people from checking in if they suspect that you are sick.  That's the first check.  Immediately when I sit down on the plane, I'll take a sleeping pill.  That significantly reduces the chance that I sleeze and cough on the plane.  Just before landing, I'll take the fever reducer to fool the body temperature detectors at the airport.

So you'd have no problems with the fact that you'd be infecting people?

I don't want to be qurantined just because I have normal flu.  But that scenario seems increasingly likely, given the hysteria.

Then don't travel if you're sick even with the regular flu; sick people on airplanes make the flight miserable for everyone.

HK government just qurantined a girl, who flew in from Paris.  She became ill on the plane, and we took her straight to the hospital dedicated to swine flu. 

Could be our first case.

Get back to me when it's a full blown epidemic or these people who die start rising from the dead.

It has spread to Washington; 6 probable cases here so far.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Just heard on BBC that the European Commission is calling it "Novel Flu" or "Mexican Flu" in order to not depress pork sales. :lmfao:
