Bingo! You know what prompted this? A school in Queens sent children on a field trip to Mexico and the kids came back with it. My guess is the school is in this Congressman’s district.
This thing could jump to all of New York City in a few days.

Most of the time, an answer to any issue is very simple. I think you nailed it. This flu affected his voters kids. Got to keep up with the constituant service. OK there NY dim, it is ok for American citizens to be gunned down by narco gangbangers here in Texas as long as it doesn’t affect your ability to stay in office. If a problem doesn’t affect them directly, the lawmakers don’t give a rat’s ass. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We on our own folks. Be prepared.
Obama may be a carrier too.
