Cytokine Storm. Sounds like the title of a Larry Niven space opera. It’s the Internet’s latest scare meme that’s supposed to explain why those twenty-something Mexicans died of the, uh, swine flu. Yawn. Call me when the CDC-confirmed death toll reaches a thousand in the first world. Then I’ll, maybe, get alarmed.
UPDATE: Yes, this is where I got the title. Credit where it’s due, after all. Even if it’s late.

“In this case, a healthy immune system may have been a liability rather than an asset.”
Must be OK for me, then. With my way of living, my immune system can’t be too healthy…
I wonder. I suppose we’ll never know for sure. The Mexican system is pretty well closed to outsiders.
