It is. And given the media's penchant for fearmongering, I'm surprised they aren't all over this.

Whether natural or man-made, it will happen in our lifetimes.

This is worth keeping your eye on (one good source that was just updated www.cdc.gov/swineflu/investigation.htm#guidance) and perhaps building your stocks of food/toilet paper a little bit in case the time comes that you want to stay home for a while. Young adults likely to be especially at risk. |

I had been thinking about that. I actually have an appointment with my doctor at the Mayo Clinic Monday afternoon. I'll be interested to hear what she has to say.

I'm sure that bill and his friends at Fox Noise will find a way to blame Obama for this.

The blame will fall on Mexico, which means illegal immigrants to RWM. Just another way to exercise their bigotry.

It is possible to support legal immigration without being a bigot.

True. But the Right Wing Media is full of bigots. I'm not sure they even support *legal* immigration.
Yes, Lou Dobbs, I'm talking about you.

To bring this back on topic, the media now has this full on. Given that is has been found in the Middle-East, Europe, and New Zeland, it is world wide. It is interesting that the cases in the US, at least so far, have been mild compared to those in Mexico.

Could be that it loses virulence as it's passed from human to human. We can hope so anyhow.

By LAURAN NEERGAARD, AP Medical Writer Lauran Neergaard, Ap Medical Writer – 1 hr 16 mins ago
WASHINGTON – The world's governments raced to avoid both a pandemic and global hysteria Sunday as more possible swine flu cases surfaced from Canada to New Zealand and the United States declared a public health emergency. "It's not a time to panic," the White House said.
President Obama speaking from his basement bowling alley has reaffirmed that Jack Bauer of FOX 's 24 has been called in to see what his interrogation methods might bring.
"I want to be perfectly clear" said Obama through a surgical mask...."that there is no threat to the majority of American's as long as they follow these simple steps"
1. "we MUST PASS UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE immediately...."
2. " OUR global warming cap and trade must start tomorrow"
3. "Bill,Hannity and Beck and that idiot clown at VT must stand down.."
Obama went on to say .."I have a warm place in my heart and I get tingles up my thigh when ever I see Ann C. all dolled up..."
4. The President went on..saying.."all Americans shall buy a chevy within the next 2 weeks..."
5.The President also mandated "that all schools shall remain closed for a years time frame..with students all receiving A 's and teachers continuing to be paid"
6. "all guns shall be turned in..no deceptions..or else the disease may spread to those without guns.."
7. GAY marriage shall be approved without wait as a National law..
8. The US/ Mexico border shall be fully opened..".to allow Mexico the medicine it deserves.
9..The rev. Wright shall lead our nations faithful...
This disease proves "our chickens have come home to roost"
10. We shall have a trial and convict President Bush and his whole administration as WAR criminals and enemies of global security.
"These are my 10 commandments...hear and obey"
I have a 62% approval rating.
among all gays,blacks and white doves...and sheep...and terrorist...
baaaa?

Name-calling and insults are a poor substitute for arguments of substance. Who was arguing? I was making a point, voicing an opinion. I didn't realize I was in a debate. Again, you are the one dealing out the name-calling... |
