Everyone is hovering over the swine flu panic button

I thought I had swine flu on Wednesday. Perhaps I did — who knows? Except that the massive aching in my limbs — it exhausted me to raise my arms to wash my hair — and general hot grogginess had gone by Thursday. But I suppose that I could have had mild swine flu all week, building up to an exciting and noticeably swiney crescendo. We shall never know.
