This is a country that cannot stop the illegal terrorist organization of Tamil Tigers from rioting, 1,000 strong, all night, in front of the American Embassy, closing down University Avenue during rush hour, although every cop for 20 miles around is there. How are they going to stop an epidemic that is mainly spread by the Youre Not The Boss Of Me generation?
Airlines transport deadly flu outbreak.
Disney World tickets down? Same with Florida Hotel reservations ... Thera Flu up?
socal businesses are still trying to get illegals to stop throwing their used toilet paper on the floor and in the trash cans.
What worries me is that Continental Airlines has routes all over Mexico and Houston is a major hub connecting to those places. Surely the virus is already here.
