Don't come back Sick
According to Janet Nappy's Homeland Insecurity Press Conference ayer, the Border Inspectors (ours) are being instructed to detain ANYONE entering who
appears to be sick for referral to the CDC.
Asked IF CDC officials were going to be on-site at all crossings, she said that they could be at the larger crossings and, at others, they would be
called in while the detainees were segregated in a room at the facility. She said it wasn't a Quarantine, but a detention.
Boy, I'm glad she cleared that one up.
Assuming that they don't have a whole bunch of rooms, I can picture being stuck in some little room with a bunch of SICKOS. If you didn't have the
Swine going in, they'll take care of that.

Came back from SF 4 days ago, Sat. crossed
back at Calexico, just ahead
of the concerns. That 10 mi.
detour off pavement
near the Military checkpoint
at Hwy 3, wears on your mind,
as I didn't know how long it was.
Adds only 17 minutes or so,
just seems longer, mild/moderate
washboard

Yes, since Janet Nappy was my Govenor, and she didn't make me happy, is in charge of the border, I am concearned about getting back into the country.
It seems to me that everyone had a nasty flu/cold in SF back in Jan and Feb.

I think the Cancun area is where the biggest concerns are.

Swine Flu threat in the U.S. is now over.
Today, at a joint press conference, Nappy and Vilsack declared there is "NO Swine Flu. This is NOT Swine Flu".
It is now H1M1.
I'm thankful for such quick action on the part of the Health Authorities.
Actually, Vilsack admitted in questioning that the whole name change to its official designation is Political and Economic since the "SWINE"
appellation is hurting U.S. Pork and Grain sales.
Changing the name (per Vilsack and Nappy) will cure that problem.
OK. Sure. I Believe that. Why wouldn't I ?
One thing that is absolutely sure is that this has brought on a Pandemic of marooonic News Commentators. One Politico who suggested we should
consider closing the border was attacked by the Newsman as "Closing the Barndoor" since we've already seen instances of the Flu North of the Border.
Now, there's a great argument. No point in trying to STOP More infective sources since SOME have already arrived. That argument could be used
against the stated policy of trying to identify sickness at the border. WHY Bother ? That genius should go to work for the CDC.
Anyway, NO More Swines. Spread the Word.
Meanwhile, Carnival Cruise Lines has cancelled stops at Mexican Ports. Closing the Barndoor (or hatch in this case ?).

Never in my life have I heard so much BS about so few people getting ill. It's unreal! You'd think people were dieing like flies. They aren't. Are we
turning into a society of "Chicken Littles"?

I would imagine San Felipe is a safer bet than California right now. Schwarzenegger just declared a "state of emergency" yet he said there is "no
cause for alarm"...whatever that means.

Cypress: "Are we turning into a society of "Chicken Littles"?"
Turning? I'm pretty sure that already happened, although that won't likely be apparent here much. The terrified masses would have you believe that
Mexico was unsafe for travel long before the drug cartel wars and the swine flu. Nomads are the exception and see through the hysteria.

It means he wants federal money, because we're broke.

Posted on The Net in San Felipe late this afternoon
28 April, 2009 - Tuesday. UPDATE: Dr. Abasolo just returned from a meeting with the health officials in Mexicali. There are NO confirmed cases of
Swine Flu in Baja California - only suspect. If you are experiencing flu like symptoms, it is more than likely the normal virus we get each year.
