Swine flu has hit! Everyone stay in your homes, don't go to work or school or do anything, don't even breath.
150 people in Mexico, mainly Mexico City have died due to the flu and the time to panic is now!
Wait a minute! My Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy still says "Don't Panic" on the cover.
At last check Mexico City had almost 9 million people living there, do I really have to explain the ratio of people who have died or even suffering from swine flu to the whole swarm of people still living, and didn't we just go through all this with Peanut Butter and Tomatoes.
Yes flu is serious, and I don't intentionally take people suffering or dieing for granted, but the fact of the matter is people die. Everyday so far, and more will today. Some from swine flu, some from another form of flu, others from traffic accidents, electricity and I think there is still at least couple of wars out there, and I'll bet some where in the world a circus clown was trampled by an elephant.
I know it's the job of Local or National newscasts to find a way to make you crap your pants, but the numbers suggest that you will make it through the day okay. In fact I read a book(I'll find it and mention it on the next Radioaffliction podcast)that stated you have a better chance of winning the lottery than being killed by a terrorist. I read another book that stated you have a better chance of being killed by a terrorist than getting married after 40(joke).
So there you have it. You are going to live. Until you don't and then you won't have anything to worry about. You will be another statistic for something and a bunch of people will send their thoughts and prayers to your family.
Enjoy your day!

Yes people die everyday. My own mother just died 2 wks ago, not from Swine Flu, or from a terrorist. And most people know they have a better chance of being killed in their cars then on a plane or by terrorist...well gw might not know that. Swine flu, is serious though. People can stop eating peanut butter, but they can't control whom they're exposed to at work, school, traveling for work or pleasure etc. More people died of flu then in WWI (yikes memory, was it WWII?). Anyway the global economy makes the pandemic more of a reality and fear.
Mexico City, well thats another who story. The amount of filth, poverty etc surely play into the problem. Not on my list of places to visit by the way.
Hopped over from AFTR, love that widget. Am seeing some blogs I might not have before.
Question for you, I want to ad the tweet before or after a blog post, copied down instruction I found here somewhere yesterday or someones' blog (forgot who's), but the codes they indicated should be on my blog to look for...to add the code for the tweet etc I can't find. Could I ask for help? YOu seem to have a handle on it.
Thanks
Sandy
