If you’re dying of Swine Flu… it’s time to go.

I’m under the impression that if your immune system is going to call it quits at a bout of flu, then it’s probably time to accept your fate.
Just don’t mention this view to anyone.
“Yeah, except if you’re having chemotherapy!”
Oh, brilliant. How do I talk myself out of this one?
Damn it.
Obviously I’m not talking about people that are terminally ill or going through extremely risky treatment for an illness that kills hundreds of thousands of people a year. That’s mental, I’m not making light of cancer, but if you die because you get flu, then you’re not going to last very long anyway, cancer or not.
That is, I don’t care about cancer for the sake of a stupid comment about swine-flu.
I’m obviously joking. I’m obviously not saying that people with any form of cancer are destined to die. Although, some will.
I’m especially not saying they should die from swine-flu. At least let the cancer kill them if they are going to die.
Anyway, why am I talking myself out of a situation that never even got this far? Because I’ve been arguing with myself about it.
What right do you have to play the cancer card to my stupid joke?
You played the cancer card!
Your friend has cancer, so I can’t joke about Swine-flu?????
That’s just wrong, and so is cancer.

It’s just another strain of flu. The government has been exaggerating about it (especially in the UK) coincidentally when all of the expenses problems occur. Outrage happens and they detour your attention to something which isn’t that harmful.
Tamiflu; the drug given to those with Swine flu actually causes more pain than the flu itself. A lot of reports concur that the drug has bad side effects including: vomiting, diarrhoea, exhaustion etc.

It was a joke. Not a funny joke, but a deliberately stupid joke that isn’t even meant to get a laugh. It was meant to offend.
Thanks for reading.

I’m simply stating to others out there who are afraid of “Death by swine flu”, to check their stupid valves.
