Were you associating the Democrat Party with the rats or the lice?

I'll say the lice. Bloodsuckers.

The Rats could be the MSM.

>>Over the counter in any drug store. <<

Well no wonder they’re dying and we’re not.
Too many antibiotics can be bad.

Their secondary bacterial problems may be huge because they take too many and now won’t work.

That's what I loved about visiting Mexico. Antibiotics without a script.

OTOH, Tamiflu has been counterfeited, so no telling how many people think they are secure, only to find out their Tamiflu is not the real deal.

Now that you mention it, it is a classic vector/parasite relationship.

Actually, it’s behind the counter.
I’ve bought it when I was going for a hysterectomy.

Gotcha. But it's nice option to have as long as it's used responsibly.

N95 is probably not required.

It’s not like the viruses end up independently suspended in air flying around. Worst case, you’ll probably end up coming in contact with one either by shaking hands, touching a doorknob or if someone coughs/sneezes - in which case the virus would be in a water droplet. Wash your hands frequently, and don’t stand around people who are coughing - just about any cloth in front of your mouth and nose, will likely intercept a water droplet.

Keep your hands away from your mouth and face (always a good practice anyway)

We’re not talking about SARS or something. It’s just a flu.

Flus go around every year.

There is also a big meat packing plant in Emporia - very close to Emporia State University. Most of the employees are illegals from various countries.

Just spreading the diseases Americans refuse to spread.

My grandmother died in the 1918 epedemic. She was 25 and my dad was only 3 months old.

I’m not going to panic just yet

I don't think this is even remotely close to being panic worthy. But it's a good idea to listen to the news for the next couple days and see how it plays out.

“It’s just a flu.”

I think this is a bit different, it’s swine/avian mutated with the human flu and rapidly changing according to WHO. It appears a new update states it is only resistant to: oseltamivir (tamiflu).

‘Swine Influenza A/H1N1 viruses characterized in this outbreak have not been previously detected in pigs or humans. The viruses so far characterized have been sensitive to oseltamivir, but resistant to both amantadine and rimantadine.’

N95 is probably not required. It’s not like the viruses end up independently suspended in air flying around.

N95 is necessary because the virus particles, suspended in watery droplets in the air, are brought into the filter through the suction of inhalation. If the permeability of the filter medium exceeds the size of the virus particle you are in trouble.

We’re not talking about SARS or something. It’s just a flu. Flus go around every year.

Influenzas with genetic contributions from swine, birds and humans do not circulate every year. The fatality rate from 2009 H1N1 appears similar to SARS.

This could become a problem.

Not really. The Metzenbaum skank can call her friend Doctor Tiller to do a little retro treatment and eliminate all possibility of contagion.
