I had surgery a few weeks ago and the nurse took my temp with this device that you sweep over the forehead like a barcode. Pretty cool, I never saw one of those before.

@amsci: I'm a little disturbed and intrigued by this (thinking RFID chips). Now I wanna know what it is.

Thanks for the reminder to get a flu shot this year! The last thing I need is another bought of flu-induced bronchitis.

At first glance, I thought there was some sort of mass ear-piercing event happening.

It seems to me that some other countries are taking swine flu more seriously than we are here.

I have a friend teaching in South Korea, and she's reported that all the students' temperatures are taken at least twice a day. Anyone diagnosed with swine flu has to stay away from school for at least a week.

I haven't heard as much talk about it here in the U.S. -- just an acknowledgment that it's coming and that we should all be a bit more careful about the flu in general this year.

Are other countries over-reacting, or are we under-reacting? Or am I just picking up on incomplete bits of news?

@Lalison: It hit NZ pretty hard- we even had a death or two, I think. I think that because the overreaction was such a joke to begin with, it was kind of a bit of a surprise when it turned out to be a bit more serious than everyone had previously assumed

@Lalison: At my school at least, they've mae a huge deal of it, and are prepared to shut down completely and go to online classes if a certain percentage of students get it. They're also pushing the vaccine, which will be available in October. I've been kind of laughing at it, but it's starting to scare me, because eveyr day we get another administration email about swine flu preparedness.

Girl # 2 - These dudes are creeping me out

Girl # 1 - Shut up and look cute! That dude is taking a picture, and if we are ever going to get into movies, you've got to quit making that face!

Girl # 2 - Sigh. I bet Dakota Fanning never had to do this shit.
