I've not seen or heard anxiety about Swine Flu in the city from anyone but the news anchors, but on my way home yesterday I watched a woman surreptitiously shove a face mask into her pocket when exiting the G train that runs between Queens and Brooklyn.
That assurance didn't keep my best friend from admonishing me to be safe and stay healthy, calling this morning to say, "don't go around licking any pigs. Or any catholic prep school boys; they really started the whole thing. Not that you have any preference for licking catholic prep school boys. Just sayin'." Apparently I come across to my nearest and dearest as having a penchant for licking swine. Who knew?
That said, wash your hands, people, and cover your mouths when you cough.
