It's the swine flu! Head for the hills!

It has finally come to Las Vegas. See here. I will still bravely go out among the masses to play poker later today. But I will not inhale.

I go to the casinos in Tunica and this past weekend, I saw a lady playing the slots wearing what looked like a surgeon's mask!

If you get the swine flu, I wouldn't worry about it. You'll probably be just fine.

But please don't take your rotting, pestilential zombie corpse up to California to recuperate.

I lived in Tokyo for a couple years in high school and there it is common to see people wearing those, or maybe what looks like a mask you'd wear while sawing something. It's common courtesy there when YOU are sick that way you don't spread it to others. You look a little ridiculous but it would be nice if people here adopted the practice.
