The real test will be where the flu is in the spring. If you recall, we first started hearing about swine flu in the spring of 09. Thanks to summer break, the flu pretty much stayed out of the news. But as soon as school started, wham! West Michigan has been hit hard by it. In one week alone, 51 schools were closed due to H1N1. What week was that? Right before Halloween. And what follows Halloween every year?
Election day.
If this flu breaks out of Western Europe and heads over to NA, it is entirely possible the same spread scenario will happen. How big is the election 2010? HUGE.
If Obama's numbers continue to slide, and this new flu hits the states next fall, do not be surprised if the election is postponed.
Same goes for the Presidential election. There will be some sort of created catastrophe during 2012!
