i could be wrong but i most sincerely hope i'm right

it's the flu. we're hit with the flu every year. some get VERY sick and unfortunately, yes, some even die. that's how it's always been.

work (mine) has been posting information and instructions for months and months now about swine flu. we're of course to stay HOME (which shouldn't need to be told. IT'S COMMON SENSE).

now the world is going to come to an end because the net may be compromised by all the little buggers staying home from school playing online video games?

give me a BREAK
(and i do work from home from time to time myself)
