"If this happens people will die...and I might be one of them."
me @ 4 years ago at County Bd of Supes mtg
aloha again,
HAPPY SWINE FLU TO U 2!
golly,where to begin?
1918-1919 40 million died worldwide of the so called Spanish Flu (new research shows it actually began in Kansas) B.A.{before antibioticS.}
the CDC reports that every flu season 36,000 i repeat 36,000 americans die of influneza related causes NORMALLY.
my County bought 10.000 body bags four years ago for the bird flu,so far nada.
so why exactly are we running around like our hair is on fire?
one reason, this new SWINE FLU is a three part mutant,human/bird/swine and is 'unique' as far as flu viruses go.( so relax TAMIFLU & REFLUNEZA knock it down)
reason two, there is some speculation that Mexico is UNDERESTIMATING the flu numbers to keep tourism numbers healthy (258 flights a day so far).
reason three,one of the NYC spring breakers to Cancun was ASYMPTOMATIC meaning all the warning signs were absent before he infected others.
reason four,WHO (WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION) has a six phase pandemic process, we've been on Phase Three since the bird flu stuck its beak up and today they went to Phase Four.(check www.CDC.gov for more details).
reason five, it gives us something to think about besides our tanking econmy until THE RAPTURE or whatever...
you're welcome,now go hide under the covers.
namaste
semper grumby
