Please keep chat and one-liners to a minimum. This thread is intended to be a one-stop-shop for all of todays NEWS and info related to the Mexican Swine Flu.
To make it faster for everyone to catch up on the actual NEWS, PLEASE PLEASE minimize chat, jokes, bashing the administration, soapboxes, and so forth. These live threads can become useless monster threads if everyone throws in their one-liners, and we all have 'em! So let's try to keep this thread useful for the latest NEWS.
Thank you all in advance.
I've come to that conclusion myself. Al Qaeda infected by a zombie virus could be in complete control of Mexico, and still the borders would be wide open.
“White house press conference questioner asked if Obama had been checked for swine flu. Answer was a bit muddled, so we’ll have to wait and see.”
Obama is fine..he is out playing golf today!! If Bush had done that during something like this he would have been pillored!
That’s nice to know.
I have never liked shaking hands and very seldom initiate the action.
I usually eat out about twice a day. I’m not eating out for awhile. Almost all kitchens of all restaurants are staffed by Mexicans. I’d just as soon not take the chance.
Better safe than sorry. This Admin is not too bright.
“CNN is criticizing Hillary Clinton’s state dept for not putting out a travel advisory on Mexico so far.”
Why is CNN not criticizing Obama? He is out playing GOLF TODAY for crying out loud!

Napolitano declares public health emergency @ 1:01 pm by Eric Zimmermann
The United States will declare the swine flu outbreak a public health emergency, Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano said today.
Speaking at a White House press briefing, Napolitano said the declaration is not as severe it sounds.
“It allows us to free up state and local resources” that otherwise would not be available, Napolitano said.
The declaration does not necessarily convey the authority to initiate quarantines.
“We’re nowhere near that kind of decision,” Napolitano said.
Also at the briefing, the Director of the Center for Disease Control, Richard Besser, warned that there will likely be more cases of the swine flu detected in the U.S., adding those cases will grow more severe.

And we are now set up for the O man to stuff the bucket
My neighbors were in Cozumel for the last 10 days and just came home...I told them I will talk to them when they get the all clear from their doctors.
They wanted to hold the baby etc...I said “not going to happen sorry”, they looked super offended but I said hey...until you are checked out I don’t want to touch or go near anything you touch until you are checked out by your doctors. You have been down in Mexico for the last 10 days...I have no idea if you brought it back.
Howdy..(from the Mexican Flu capitol of the US) Just got back from the store. Everyone was buying hand sanitizer and lysol spray.

You probably don’t have to worry about it, but we’ll know soon enough if this is ramping up or fizzling out.
