Enough already. Enough hand wringing, blue masks, hand wash potions, mouthwash. Everybody is getting worried, over what? Influenza is serious. People die every year from it, as I mentioned in a previous post, 250,000-500,000 every year on average.
Right now, the WHO (world health organization)which spearheads this watch has been banging on the table that we are in big trouble, that a pandemic is on the way, like the bird flu? Millions of birds were killed to prevent the flu, was it necessary, maybe. We won't know for sure.
Not unlike in 2000 that companies spent millions upon millions for a computer scare that didn't happen or the Bush Homeland Security Color Terror Alert to scare the people on a daily basis.
Enough.
Besides,all those blue masks get in the way of kissing,now that could cause a different kind of pandemic.

I have had the flu twice in my life. You know, the stay in bed for ten days type of flu. At work they offered flu shots and I said no thanks. Nothing like prospective flu pandemic to keep the media occupied.
The 2000 computer bug. That was fantastic. Talk about bring fear to the uneducated thus getting them to spend money on fixing the problem which never was an issue anyway.
It's not that I don't care about the sick or the dying, I do. People die everyday. It's sad, but it is a fact. Making people paranoid is not a public service.
The fact I am hiding underneath my bed, that is wrapped in plastic is beside the point!
