Speaking as a nurse, I really don't know what all the damn commotion is about among the general public. For the average healthy person it might be a giant nuisance, but not some global crisis. Granted I am no doctor or expert, but come on... imo the more germophobic we become, the more susceptible to the most common things we become. I ate dirt as a kid and I got sick way less than the current day kid who uses hand sanitizer and antibacterial soap...

I've always been good at dodging or not catching sickness. I have a vastly superior immune system, and therefore feel I am probably one of the closest beings comparable to Wolverine in this modern day and age. Plus I maintain my young looks, and when I shave, look barely older than 20.

All for lols, though.

Haha.

Yeah, I rarely ever get sick, unless it's from drinking. >_>

my immune system is trash from all the booze and smokes.

I hardly ever get sick, this just happens to be one of those times. Put me down for a few days though...

Amen to that. I argue this point with people all the time! When I was a kid I used to get sick all the time, but now I've grown out of it -- because I built up my immune system! The reason why children today have so many allergies and similar health problems is because they're born in sterile hospitals and don't encounter germs and bacteria on a daily basis because their parents are terrified to let them run around outside. If we don't let children build up their immune systems as they grow, they won't be able to fend off something as simple as the flu, which every healthy person should be capable to defeating.
