189. Yes this is true
But it is not what you said before.
What you said before was that if you could be contagious without ever knowing about it. That is a false statement. Perhaps I misunderstood because at some point you will will fall ill and then you will know you are contagious.

And what will you do then?
You will do what everyone has always done. You will go home , rest and keep away from the public and thus prevent the dreaded Swine-Flu-Zombie-Apocalypse.

Just like we always have done.

And if everyone practices simple sanitary measures like appropriate hand washing and covering one's mouth when you sneeze then that will likely do a lot more good overall then a vaccine that is only 30% effective (give or take) and one that only perhaps 20-30% of the overall population at best will receive.

It's not the Apocalypse. It's just a flu.
