Dude, I've had everything from people calling in saying "well, I read the symptoms online and I don't really have any of them but my sister's best friend's boyfriend was in Mexico six months ago and came over for dinner last week so I think I might be exposed" to people asking me for the vaccine (WHICH DOESN'T EXIST) and then accusing me of discriminating against them when they find out that they cannot get the vaccine (WHICH, I REPEAT, DOESN'T EXIST). I can't make this shit up.

It really doesn't help matters that the regular flu is still ending out its run this season and strep has started going around. For some reason people tend not to believe you when you tell them that its a virus and not bacteria so antibiotics won't have any effect and anti-virals are not a proven preventative measure. Teh stoopid. Gah.
