We typically go out to dinner on Friday night. Same place, same order.
Decided that with no visible panic in Centenario (no masks yet) we would stick to our hum drum routine. A devil may care friend joined us and I was
pleased to see the place had more people than usual considering the early hour. 2 1/2 hours, never heard a cough. But, I topped my dinner off with a
lovely shot of tequila just in case. I think I must have read somewhere that viruses are not fond of limes.

Best advice I have heard yet. Make mine a double shot though please...

From the Associated Press
updated 1 hour, 8 minutes ago
Mexico's health secretary said the swine flu epidemic in his country "is now in its declining phase," even as the U.S. and five other countries in
Europe and Latin America reported new cases Sunday.
China quarantined more than 70 Mexican travelers and Hong Kong isolated 350 people in a hotel as a precaution even though no new swine flu infections
appeared in Asia. In Egypt, authorities' attempt to kill all pigs as a precaution against the disease prompted pig owners to clash with police who
were helping to seize their animals for slaughter.
The death toll in Mexico remains at 19, and the number of confirmed cases has increased slightly, from 473 to 506, including the dead, Health
Secretary Jose Angel Cordova said. He said "evolution of the epidemic is now in its declining phase."
He said data suggest the epidemic peaked sometime between April 23 and April 28, and that drastic measures — closing the nation's schools, shuttering
most of its businesses and banning mass public gatherings — apparently have helped curb the flu's spread.

A Good Talking Point is ....................
That, even during the worst Flu Epidemics, the intensity rises and falls so the WORST could still be ahead.
Having worked so many people into a frenzy, it would be unfortunate if it slipped away so easily.
Let's keep that pot stirring and the masses scared.

It's the one you sing with the piano guy at the bar. How can you say you don't like it?
