The next big epidemic is here and this time around it didn't come out of China! Swine flu, a respiratory disease in pigs, has somehow spread to humans - infecting a total of 20 people in the U.S. so far and allegedly killing more than 103 in Mexico!

Think the Chinese government only became interested in stopping spitting after SARS? Think again! They've been promoting an anti-spitting stance since before the Cultural Revolution. Unfortunately, if our frequent walks around the city are any indication, 50 years of no spitting propaganda has had very little effect on the behavior. HOCK-PUY!
