Yeah man
i live in Texas and ive been worrying about that shit too
they been sayin its only getting the older folks though so
i wouldnt worry too much.but then again they say alot of things
i wonder how many people its really killed.the funny thing is
they never said how it got here. cause remember it spread through
like 30 er 40[ithink]states in a few weeks.before this they found it in new york a few years ago but it didnt spread just kinda dissapeared.
so you know it was probably terrorists no way it could spread like that.some old man died from it yesterday in north texas.crazy shit.

what state are you in pillechino?

yeah, i'm up in chicago and our death-count is up to about 35 people and i think the infection rate is about 150 people? it's freaky shit. but i'm not really too at risk seeing as 99% of the victims have been over 60. i think i'd be more worried of randomly being shot by a sniper in d.c. why's there so much freaky shit going on all over the place? let's all find a big rock to crawl under. mmm.. warm.
