Victoria now has over 200 cases of the swine flu and it's interesting watching this virus spread. We started stockpiling food a while ago but haven't got much organised so far. My sister-in-law has N95 masks and is contemplating wearing one on the train tomorrow - will she protect herself or merely freak out the other passengers. Will she start a trend??
Are we going to end up with a 40% infection rate and have a substantial number of our workers out of commission (whether through their own illness or tending to others with it)? Will it mutate and get worse through the winter (we have 3 months of winter ahead of us). So many questions. Only some answers.
