there have been reports now that people are flooding emergency rooms all over the country with merely a sore throat, cough, or sneeze frantically believing that they have contracted the h1n1 virus, formally known as swine flu (see how you still have to say it anyway).
the problem with this is that those who actually do possess life threatening ailments are hindered from receiving their necessary proper treatment due to the influx of the "worried well".
because a crowded hospital emergency room full of people with all sorts of potentially contagious, life threatening diseases is where i would want to find myself if i wasn't quite sure if i was sick or not yet.
