The purported International Government conspiracy to introduce the swine flu (H1N1) to the populous for the sole purpose of creating a "vaccine" that everyone will be scared in to taking--but which really is a microscopic chip that will enable remote mind control while watching any one of the news sites with a hidden signal activated every time they show a Twitter feed instead of an actual news story.
After watching the Daily Show clip of mainstream media fear mongering about H1N1 fears of side effects mediately followed by fears of vaccine shortages, it became clear that Swinegate is in full swing. Now turn off your television immedietely before you "magically" formulate an opinion based on such blather.

Fear of Coughing in Public,
This fear manifests itself in a variety of ways including:
1) a realization that “yes, you might in fact be sick, and the cough is the least of your concerns”. Alternately
2) caused by the fear of judgement of others in your immediate vicinity, for your obvious selfish decision to not heed warning to stay home, despite how unrealistic that expectation is for many people whose career and financial well-being do not allow for that.
3) worrying about the improper coughing technique of an open cough, hand cough, or deep throated coughing fit ruining dinner out, an important presentation for work, or your blind date that was love at first sight.
4) the much feared, cough-o-rama, where one individual cough turns in to a chorus of others that precipitates in a collective fear of a two week quarantine without having a change of underwear.

My severe FOCIP while commuting on the train, resulted in me coughing with my mouth closed and going def when my eardrums burst from the pressure. At least I couldn't hear the disdain verbally emanating from fellow passengers.
