H1N1!

The complete hype around this new influenza virus is drawing to a climax. Yesterday they distributed tissues and sanitising spray around the building. It can be noted that for a room where eight people are working at eight desks, we've got one spray and one box of tissues. What if someone sneezes?

The spray is a vivid blue, and the label reads that it's flammable. I'm sure it's got alcohol in it, which will demolish the skin on my hands if I'm not careful, creating new and interesting ways for the virus to enter my system. A regular case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Since it's such a pretty colour, the goblin alchemist in me is jumping up and down excitedly, wanting to test its effects on people. Remind me to bring potion bottles to work.
Also: what goblin alchemist in me?

Last night we had dinner at SushiQube, the wonderful all-you-can-eat sushi place that we love so much, and I saw a waiter walking around with a lovely blue spray there as well. I guess there are regulations for the use of it as well as regulations for which kind of spray companies should buy.
But answer me this: if you religiously clean each table after your guests have left, then why is there a large bowl of mints near the exit, where anyone can stick their unwashed hands into the mass of sugar?

*ppssht psssht*
Blue mints!

De pers had a good article about it on 1st of September. Nobody in charge wants to end up in a position that they did nothing to prevent something by fear of the angry mob demanding the blood of those responsible. So they rather hype, then be nonchalant.

Traffic and household accidents still claim more deaths then this (beats 9/11)...hell, lightning does a better job.

I want to catch it so i can kill it with my mighty antibodies..muha!
