I have received, via Company e-mail from a truly well meaning employee....and this thing was sent to all 200 or so Folkes on our Global network, an advisory for how to deal with the Flu, avoid getting it, and the associated stress of worrying that you're going to get it........
Sorry, Folkes, but I'm not joining in on this MSM created Frenzy......you see, it's the Flu. Just happens to be a different strain than we've seen before.
The hoopla stated when "somebody" reported 70 deaths in Mexico, then it escalated to 150 Swine Flu related deaths in Mexico City alone......Hory Clap, that's enough to worry anybody down here in SoCal........
Over a hundred....and counting.....schools across the U.S. have been closed according to FOX NEWS . Hory Double Clap!!!
But then, remember that 150 deaths in Mexico City number?....."The World Health Organization counted at least 57 deaths in Mexico, although it wasn't yet clear if this larger number was due to swine flu."
Hmmm, dropped quite a bit, didn't it.....and I've read as low as 12 CONFIRMED deaths attributable to this particular Flu.
We've been issued Traveler's advisories against nonessential visits to Mexico. Because of the Flu.....hmm, check the chart that I brazenly stole from "somewhere".....
Although, I would personally add "Horrible Death" to the first column, unless you don't consider being kidnapped, robbed, beheaded and thrown in a ditch by a Cartel Bandido "Horrible"......
And then there's Egypt.......killing 400,000 pigs, a mainstay of their Coptic Christian People.....riots and such will probably kill more People than the Swine flu, which YOU DON'T CATCH FROM PIGS, would ever do....
But just to be safe.........
Bottom lone, Folkes....It's the Flu. Here's some real live bonafide statistics on the "Regular" Flu:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 35 to 50 million Americans come down with the flu during each flu season. The CDC estimates that in the US more than 100,000 people are hospitalized and more than 20,000 people die from the flu and its complications every year.
That's the regular, non Mexican, non Swine, non HV1-whatever Flu. We have as of today.....exactly ONE confirmed death attributable to this strain in the whole United States.......
So....Wollf's questionable wisdom for all my Friends and Folkes out there in Web land?
Like it says in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Universe....."Don't Panic." As your Momma always told you........"Wash your Hands". If you're sick stay home.
You'll be fine. I mean it.
Be Well,
Wollf

<= thinks Egypt might not be acting entirely for "health" reasons.
Wait...
Calm, common sense, logic, and (gasp) real data?
What kind of right wing radical are you to suggest the main stream media are out of line?
I suggest you don't answer the door... It might be Janet Napolitano.
Hilarious cartoon!
Sadly the few of us that survived the Y2K disaster and the giant asteroid, have already passed away from the avian flu. There is no one left to die from swine/Mexican flu. At least according to the MSM.
But then maybe Barry Huessein will resurrect us all so we can collect our stimulus checks.
TomR....our stimulus checks? Hell, I'm still waiting on my Unicorn.
O@H....just moved, no forwarding address......heh
You people are all terrible! Did you not feel the universe sigh when all those tens of people felt the discomfort of the swine flue? Insensitive brutes! So what if some Christians in Egypt starve? If they had turned Muslim, they wouldn't be worrying about this now.
I hope you all sneeze into your sleeve as opposed to your hand, so you won't spread your germs of hate and racism.
Was that loony enough? I would do more, but now I have to go eat some bacon.
Wollf is right, listen to him.
