[quote:Princess Bride:MV83ODc4MzhfMTIwOTE1NjBfRUE2QjIzMzE=] [quote:Boomer] There are people with compromised immune systems that could die from a freaking cold or regular flu. For example, some cancer survivors. So Mexico City, Florida, Texas and California are filled with cancer survivors then? Pretty sure that the vast majority of those people's immune systems aren't any more compromised than the average persons. They're regular people wearing those masks because they're dumb and actually believe it's airborne even though it clearly isn't. Not because they could easily be killed by a cold virus. I'm not regarding those who have significant health problems and have a legitimate need for the masks. [/quote] Honestly, I'd wear a mask if I were in any of those places, flu or no flu. Well, maybe not in Texas but the others. [/quote]

You do realize it's not airborne, right?
The Department of Health (DOH) clarified Wednesday that the dreaded swine flu virus that has been causing deaths in Mexico and infecting others in different countries is not airborne.

The H1N1 flu virus is spread from person to person usually through respiratory droplets, from someone that is coughing or sneezing. Influenza is not airborne.
