Shawnee, I think it is GOOD that your car is totalled. If it was repairable, you'd get it back, 95% fixed, but it would never be the same again.
This way, you get a new shiny one with no subtle twisting of the frame or doors that don't quite shut perectly or anything. So long as you like the new one. Keep squeaking.
Oh and swine flu is no more dangerous than regular seasonal flu. Possibly even
less dangerous. The vast majority of people who have died with swine flu had other, much more serious, medical conditions as well.
