Spanish Flu
My cold is really dragging me down right now. One of my coworkers is starting to get it, too. Sometimes when this happens, I wonder if it's the start of an epidemic and we'll be patient zero in something like the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918. We won't, of course, but it makes you wonder what it was like as it started. You've got to figure that the first people who came down with it blew it off as just another flu or cold.

You can start worrying when you develop an attraction to raw organ meats? Hope you feel better soon.
So, how big of an epidemic do you have to trigger these before you get a Wikipedia entry like Typhoid Mary? She managed it with only 22 infections and 3 deaths, but she was evidently something of a special case, and I expect it would take more now.
Kelly, I'm already a fan of organ meats, but not raw.
Tim, I'm hoping to start small and then blossom into a massive, worldwide crisis. You're welcome.
Oh and thanks, Kelly! Hope things are going well for you and yours as well.
