I understand there has been a run on hand sanitizers, and other items necessary to avoid or treat the current outbreak.
Don’t close the border. Close the schools. BRILLIANT!
Maybe I should go out and get some N95 masks...
My middle schooler is really hoping his school gets closed. So far, no cased near us, although Chicago might have some? (Two hours away) So maybe he’ll get lucky soon.
My thoughts exactly......
I bet, in other school districts across Texas, kids are looking for pigs to kiss so they can miss school!
Are the “chilrun” going to be safer while sequestered at home or, more than likely, running around the neighborhood unsupervised (since Mom and Dad - if there is one - are working)? I’ll remember swine flu as I go out to my favorite Mexican food restaurant in San Angelo (TX) for the finest in South of the Border cuisine.
I'm headed to the store hun......back in a minute!
Shame we don’t have a way to contain the spread of the disease from its point of origin ... like a big “wall” or something ...
Last time I was in Monterrey, I bumped into some representatives of New Braunsfels ISD. They were looking to recruit Mexican nationals to teach ESL classes in Texas.
pffft...
You win...
They are lying.
Ask them, what is more likely to cause this thing to spread more...500 infected people already here, or 20,000 potential carriers, entering every single day from Mexico?
Ask them, would American rather try to manage 500 sick and ill, or 20,000 potentially sick and ill crossing in every single day from Mexico?
Have there been more documented cases or are they just doing this out of fear?
50 miles closer to us.....
Just what I was thinking.
There is money to be made somehow. I can’t put my finger on where but there is money to be made.
This whole thing is getting downright suspicious.
Swine Flu Ping
sorry but this swine flu ist the most over hyped story of the year. what we have now? 8 official confirmed deaths because of this flu? How many died today (willingly ingnored by the media) because of the “regular” flu strains
which are around? 500? 1000 worldwide? because the “normal” flu kills between 250.000 -500.000 people every year worldwide and nobody seems to care.
