i highly recommend the use of a neti-pot....no, seriously I do.....keeps snot from building up in your nasal passages, snot which might otherwise form a nice breeding ground for all manner of bad things. it's worked great for me.
as for the 'damned if the government does, damned if the government doesn't' argument....
I always advise a little skepticism in arguments framed thusly:
the best case scenario if the government does act v. the worst case scenario if the government doesn't act.
i mean....I'm not suggesting we pull out tinfoil hats or anything. It's not like it would occur to folks in the government that crises, real or imagined, are good pr tools which they should use to their advantage.
swine and more swine
i'm sure the government cares so deeply about us that it puts our needs and concerns ahead of it's own.

I heard they canceled Mansfield's Prom. They better not cancel Martin's (my school). Do hope we get out of school this week. I'd love that. And today, me and a couple of my friends brought some mini-hand sanitizer packers to school and gave people free samples in the hallway. To protect them from the Swine Flu.

I went with my brother and his family to the Fort Worth Zoo today, and I was shocked to see several families wandering around the zoo with masks on. Seriously?! If you are that paranoid that you might catch the swine flu, then keep your sorry butt at home. So silly! I think the world has gone mad.

You must find that paper and share it with us. It really would be an interesting read and to see how close your conclusions would be.

I was at UTA on Wednesday to discuss some more scholarships and I saw many college students with masks on. Some funny looking ones, too.

This site is suppose to help you figure out if you have Swine Flue or not. It was helpful.

Ha, no. They had little red ones that fit around your mouth and not cover half your face. I saw someone with baby wipes, wiping the door handle. Good stuff.

But I could go for some Subway.
Speaking of swine flu.. I went to eat last night at one of my favorite generic chinese places.. Well, the Chinese lady that was 'ringing me up' had a serious cough. I'm surprised people didn't turn around and leave when they saw the lady with Ebola virus at the register, but it didn't seem to bother anyone. So we made out.

There are 800++ people who tested positive for Swine Flu here in the Ph. Dang. An old lady died due to complications. She had a weak heart and the flu kind of triggered something that led to her demise. May God rest her soul
