ok i definately deserve the flack. i'm often gulity of typing before i think (and drooling over structures and not looking at the words) as many in
here and have to admit with all this flu thing its making me and a lot of folks pretty crazy around here with kids out of school for three plus weeks
and not technically being able to leave our houses to even go to work in my non essential industry.
how much sun does one need? I read for a light skin person like myself about 20 minutes of sunbathing? honestly those days are well behind me and I
am not sure that I get that much sun anymore. I'm out in early morning and evening and am covered up with clothing and sunscreen when out during the
sunniest part of the day. But a dark skinned person like my other half needs 5-6 times more sun exposure than that and he definately doesn't get that
much sun. so we're drinking cod liver oil now yum.

FFP....Flack? Not from me! Post your resume, kiddo, and that will quell 'em.
(She has the credentials to be working on the cure, lucky for Loreto she "dropped in". I'll take her advice over...well...uh...the vice president's?)
Stay healthy, Pam and I hope this does not hurt your enterprise.

From the Wall Street Journal
The four earliest confirmed cases are divided evenly between California and Mexico. In fact, it appears two children in California got sick in late
March, several days before the first two known Mexico cases in early April.

A Swine by any other Name
Reading a news article ayer (from Wednesday) by an expert in the field, it was pointed out by her that this is a variant of the SAME H1N1 that caused
the 1918 Pandemic and the 1977 Russian epidemic.
I can't wait for one of the news Bimbos to bring that one up.
Maybe they should call it something else.
Since it started in Mexico, how about the Cucaracha Flu ? The Montezuma Flu ?

Its not the strong and healthy, its the strong and healthy PEOPLE FROM MEXICO CITY, wich have about the worst air quality and respiratory problems on
the hemisphere. If this flu is a little more agressive on the respiratory system, wouldnt those that have lung problems be more at risk?

This is the first thing I thought of as an explanation for the number of deaths in Mexico City from this flu.
Also, the city is at a high altitude which means there is less oxygen in the air to breath. This is not a city that I would want to live in with the
heavy pollution, high altitude and over population.

Pandemic Pooh Pooh
In another example of "Words mean what WE say they Mean", we are told this a.m. that people have gotten TOO worried over the use of the word Pandemic.
After all, the Good Doctors say, "Pandemic" simply means it's something that's happening in more than one place at a time and isn't necessarily
anything that bad.
Gee Whiz ! Up until we arrived at Change We Can Believe In, the Medical definition of PANdemic was an Epidemic that
had spread to various geographical areas over the World.
No Worries now. What's the worst ? Death ? Not so bad. We'll simply re-define that to a "Transition to a Different State of Being".
We're living in an era of limitless possibilities (and definitions).

We all get there one day Mr. Bill.
Different roads, different times and with different stops. But they all end up at the same station...
