20 Confirmed cases of Swine Flu across the US, and there is a National Emergency. Sometimes I wonder how this sort of thing grabs the headlines. The cynic in me says that this is for the purpose of distracting folks from noticing little things like Illinois Democrat Bobby Rush’s latest attempt to sneak in a “gun control” bill that would require national registration of all guns and gun owners, among other things. But it seems that no matter how cynical I get, I just can’t keep up.
But ohmygodthere’saswinefluepidemic!!!! I suppose we all need to panic and run around like headless chickens.
Here’s a little health tip: Wash your hands. Frequently. With warm, soapy water. That is absolutely the best, cheapest, most effective simple-minded way ever invented to curtail the spread of diseases like colds and flu.
Just do it. And maybe you can opt out of this particular national emergency.
Now, with that taken care of, check into ways that you can help Representative Rush become unemployed, won’t you? Thanks!
Plain ole’ flu kills ~ 100 ppl a day … pneumonia kills another 100. Never make the newspaper. B. Schneier says don’t worry if you read it in the paper … it’s in the paper ’cause it hardly ever happens.
