It's crazy that people wear them walking on the beach. Is there any cleaner air on earth than the onshore baja coastal breeze? OK maybe if everyone
on an off-shore cruise ship sneezed at once.
I'm surprised families aren't camping all over the beach to stay "safe". |
Whoosh,
The masks not only protect on the intake but are there to keep the flu in, they help to keep the people from expelling the flem and other spittle on
other people and contaminating others who are nearby.
It does help to wear them.

Happy to see you're feeling better. I'll let them know at Anthony's so the girls without health cards can go back to work.

Muslims don't eat pork. How would they be destroying tens of thousands of pigs they never had in the first place?
They eat pigeons, much, probably to your chagrin.

Yeah....That was my point. Maybe a business agreement between Oscar Mayer and the Mullah.

Maybe more like between the military and Oscar Meyer. Egypt, while not quite in the same league today, resembles Turkey in that the military wields an
inappropriate amount of political power. Geez. Two of our biggest and most faithful allies in the Middle East. A really good advertisement for
spreading democracy? Pragmatism trumps democracy.

If the flu dont get you, the mal aire certainly will.
Of course, with that diet, maybe no one will come near you while you're out in the open.................

What a waste! |
Scary. What if this catches on. Imagine a world with no bacon wrapped hot dogs.

bajabillybob,
If the Nomad community seems to be making light of this "epidemic" it might be because they have learned to put things in perspective: e.g....
Every year in the US over 30,000 people die from the common, ordinary, Asian influenza. Nobody says a word, it doesn't make headlines, and nobody
panics. This, despite the fact that the same influenza predictably travels around the world and kills hundreds of thousands of people without causing
even a blip on the radar screen.
So far, not a single American has died from the new Swine Flu. Darn few Mexicans have died, either: at last report, about 150 Mexicans have died.
Mexico City has 20,000,000 people-- 150 people probably die every day from falling drunk off the sidewalk.
Now, can Swine Flu mutate and become a 1918-esque killer? Not likely, but maybe. But until then, I think your fellow Nomads can be forgiven for
being a bit disdainful and flippant at the apparent hysterical over-reaction to what seems to be a fairly mild, though far-reaching, influenza virus.

Even crazier knowing it's a pig free beach.

In the event that anyone would be interested, the pigs in Egypt thing got me to do a little research. 10% of Egypt's population is non-Muslim, mostly
Coptic Christians. They're the folks with a hankering for bacon. On the other hand, the government's edict on pig slaughtering has created a hue and
cry around the world, with the UN even criticizing it as having no foundation for doing. Conspiracy theorist alert: Egyptian Muslims have been
drifting further toward fundamentalism over the past few years and just having pigs in the country is a no-no for fundamentalists. So some believe the
government is taking a page from the Rahm Emanuel playbook by not missing an opportunity.
