The Swine Flu Diaries: Prologue

I have spent the last six days completely knocked out by influenza. Based on my symptoms and the infection patterns locally, I was told that I most likely had H1N1. But given that the treatment is the same, no one was going to bother to test me. As the fog slowly dissipates from my brain, I thought I would try to piece together the events of the past week. Hopefully, it will be entertaining and can shed some light on the virus that has recently captivated the public with its with dire pandemic predictions. So fry up some bacon, sit back, relax, and enjoy my swine flu tales of woe.
