Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also, anti-bacterial stuff kinda freaks me out.
for me it is hand sanitizers. most of them are alcohol based. Which drys my hands. and cause cracks , where germs can get in....
I occasionally use them , but mostly in places where there is no place to wash hands or when people give you a library book that has an unknown substance on it.
The 1918 flu pandemic which killed more people worldwide than WWI also originated in pigs. I don't think panic is a useful response to any situation, but I can understand why people are afraid.
And you can skip the antibacterial soaps - influenza is a virus. Just use soap and water.
Does anyone have an easy peasy hummus reciepe? Foolproof for the idiot I can be?
It's likely that the relatively high death toll in Mexico was because there's less accessible medical care/people are poorer, which means the initially affected didn't get to the see medical personnel until they were on death's door. Whereas now that people know what to look out for, and patients are getting early intervention and support, it should be much more survivable than the initial presentation.

Aims, I usually just tweak the recipe on the back of the tahini jar, but the basic ingredients list is:
Canned chick peas (drained & rinsed), tahini, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice. Spin 'em in the food processor until smooth, then taste & adjust seasonings.
Aims, can of chickpeas, clove of garlic (crushed), 2 teaspoons cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil tossed into a food processor.

The doctor who was on the radio this morning said he prefers Purell because it has moisturizer in it, so your hands don't get as dried out.
I like Jessica's recipe but I never have tahini on hand. You can definitely make it without it, though.
Swine flu is the new SARS.
At least now we have tiny kid sized surgical masks the kids got at the health & safety fair in case of an epidemic.
A friend of mine is leaving for Mexico for vacation tomorrow. Between the drug wars and the swine flu, she may be stressing.

You can substitute peanut butter.
