he said to me that that particular skirmish near the border you probs heard about, only killed 20 people. 20! it wasnt as big as the media's making it out to be. you and i both know that the media is notorious for blowing things out of proportion. now i dont mean to make it out to be completely nothing, and that's only because i just wish we didnt have to kill others over certain things, but sadly, it happens. i havent heard anything about it since it was trending on twitter almost a month ago. trust me i dont think china and india are going to bomb eachother over a border skirmish. that's WAY too much trouble for what it's worth.
that whole swine flu thing in china as well - literal fearmongering at it's finest. they did the same thing with a SINGLE case of the bubonic plague there recently as well. do you know how many cases there are of the plague here in america a year? and besides - the plague can be cured. they tried to do the same thing with hantavirus earlier this year as well.
i really dont think you have anything to worry about. i know things have been tough because of isolation and it's easy to slip into old bad habits, you should be kind to yourself and do things that you enjoy. what music have you been listening to lately?
