What do you think about this flu stuff?

50,000,000 doses of Tamiflu stocked up..let's see, after first responders, fire, police and medical that should get a dose first along with their family that leaves enough for...oh yeah, the politicians and their families.  

Like I said in an earlier post...we'll have a really good idea on Friday or Saturday..depending on how long it takes to get the information tabulated and pushed out the door.

well actually we need to go into Wichita tomorrow.. so guess I will just take my hand sanitizer with me..
I really wanted to take a short tip ( 60 miles) Friday evening to the casino... ya think the swine flu is on the slot machines??  

Strapping young man?
 huh ..where!?

My kids don't live here with me.. LOL
 

Not only does alcohol kill most everything, I bet no virus can survive in some of those smokey casionos.

Seriously though, i tend to lean to the side that we are over reacting.  However, the Fort Worth ISD (80,000 students) announced they are shutting down all campuses until May 8.  Geez!!!

I would like to go ahead reserve the right to dish out some vigorous joke cracking if our dear, sweet, princess M'ette comes down with any illness that happens to have the word "Swine" in the name.

The only reason there were so many deaths in Mexico is because it is such a s***hole. Now they have all those deaths they can blame on the illegal American guns coming over the border and pass an assault weapons ban.
It's the flu.

People here are starting to freak out, even though there hasn't been any confirmed cases here.
I live in an agricultural area.....its almost plantin' time. Most of the laborers do come from down south, so I can see their point..... A little....I think the flu is the flu and I hope my flu shot has me covered!  lol

I've read reports the last couple days that compare this to other outbreaks over the last couple decades.  Same hype, same fears and not as bad as predicted.  However, our society is becoming wackier and wackier, so more people panic today than last time.

All this said, it is still a good reason to be prepared.  And, it is a good time to make sure you get your rest, take your vitamins, eat well and get your regular exercise.  Precautions like hand washing, and watching your travels aren't a bad idea either.

The funny thing is that our fearless leader and friends were just down there right before the breakout. Things that make you go hrmmm...

I got vaccinated for the Swine Flu in 1976.
I'm not worried about getting it.

People get sick, and people die, welcome to the real world.  The couple of hundred deaths in the last week don't compare to other means of death, car accidents, cancer, suicides.  So I say, so what if ten thousand people drop dead tomorrow, and the next day, and the next?  Its going to take along time to kill 300 million people.  Just add this on to one of thousands of ways to die and move on with your life.

What's funny is, I went to Wal Mart earlier and the cashier and other employees had on gloves and everything, as though that'll stop an pathogen from spreading.  I'd bet money that none of them have the discipline not to let those gloves contact their faces or clothes.  But hey, what ever makes you fell better about death.

They closed a elementry school (private) about 4 miles from my house, one of the kids got sick over spring break... guess where he went?     Mexico.( I know shocker)


we need to shut the boarder down( ok so we need to do that anyways)



On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm worried about a -5 about this.
