yes, I joke about it, but it's a problem here and many other places, and has been for years. So it doesn't make the headlines that Swine flu does. Luckily, most folks don't die of it (children do sometimes, alas) but it makes people miserable. The old name was "breakbone fever" because it made you hurt all over.
