Scared sick

You know telling people that there is a pandemic probably isn't a good thing.  It starts to go to peoples head.  First it starts out as a joke like when ever someone coughed or sneezed someone would yell "Swine Flu" and it was funny, but then flu season starts to come around and now everyone is getting sick.  Some people have even made themselves sick because everyone else is sick, so they have to be.  They are so scared of getting the swine flu they mentally make themselves sick. Its rather ridiculus!
