Just saw on CNN, that we are all going to die a gruesome and terrible death by hyperbole.

Prepare your cyanide milkshakes, and remember...the more bitter almond you smell the better.

I think its a good idea that the media is making people prepared for a global outbreak of a virus in case one were to actually happen.

Couple things for you all..

There is a seller on ebay ripping people off. You should read her auction description and then take a look at how much she is charging for these masks. I already had it out with her and she is justifying it by saying pregnant women have thanked her. Blah blah blah!

http://cgi.ebay.com/3M-1860-N95-SURG...QQcmdZViewItem

I would like to see all her stupid auctions pulled for gouging. Or some comments sent her way.

Masks are selling out here around town. Very hard to come by and some places can't even get them from what I have heard. They are also limiting the number a person can purchase.

Pretty freaky!

Yes that was just an email joke, I hope no one was offended...

First two cases - two young brothers recently back from a trip to Mexico - have surfaced in Lowell, Massachusetts. Fortunately their parents did not send them back to school after the trip, and doctors are hoping they have it contained.

I'm in Texas.....does anyone live in an area that is far from the outbreak that I stay at until this is over?

...preferably with a nice HT system.

Speaking of outbreak...anyone else suddenly in the mood to watch that movie?

I say good for her. Cashing in on people's irrational fear and media-induced panic helps to stimulate the economy, and quickens the process of a fool parting with their money.

So, people taking precautions are considered fools? That person GOUGING the hell out of people and justifying it to herself deserves to burn. She really does. For her to sit there in her auction and say that she is just trying to make a living - not trying to use the current situation to her benefit - BUT she is selling 20 of these things for $80+ dollars and singles for upwards of $10? Hell, a "family plan of 4" will run you $20 dollars.

Give me a freaking break. Good for her huh? Karma's a real b#tch and I hope she gets it. Typical human greed at it's finest. Screw your fellow humans as long as you can gain from it.

Whatever. You probably should go say hi and meet up.
