My goodness!
600 cases out of 200million people in the United States and CNN would have you think we're all going to die. Mumps isn't even fatal (most of the time)!
Can't CNN spend their time better worrying about the upcoming war between Iran and Israel.. or.. Iran and the United States.. or.. Iran and everyone else?
..whatever..
Just in case you're the paranoid hypochondriac type, you can read what the symptoms of mumps are, so you can be sure you don't have it.. Maybe what you really have is bird flu.
