I've had a sore throat and a drippy nose for a couple of weeks. Maybe I should run to the doc for an antiviral...or wait...maybe it's allergies

(In case it doesn't come across, that's a joke. I have allergies, not swine flu. And I'm not rushing to the doctor.)

Yes, it could be serious. It's not time to panic yet. They haven't even confirmed it in my state, and people are running around in face masks
