Default The flu.

How many of you are thinking twice about going outside these days with this swine virus dark cloud over our heads?

I own a gun shop and I've noticed a drop in customers these couple of days after the announcement of the outbreak.

I'm not worried about going outside...I'm damn sure not going to Mexico any time soon though.

I hope the number of confirmed cases starts to dwindle.
