SWINE FLU PANDEMIC? Mx, NY, TX, KS...

[Mahonri]

There is no need for all this panic, the media to be honest does not have anybody to kick around now, so they need to blow out of proportion any bad news that is not related to the Oval Office.

People REALLY need to start using some common sense here and stop running in circles. They also need to start to think for themselves instead of letting mainstream media do it for them.

AMEN to that!

Why can't they concentrate on tax cheats... like the U S Secretary of the Treasury and his good buddy Hank Paulsen? Or former heads of Freddie and Fannie? Or the senator from CT? Or the congressman from MA? Or the investment bankers who bundled all the bad loans? Or the evil folk who run ACORN?

Doubt we'll ever see any of the above.​

It really is amazing how sick kids can be and still get sent to school. One morning a little girl in my middle son's class puked in another child's breakfast tray (they all have to sit in the cafeteria before class starts). When they said they were going to call her mom to get her she said "she knows already, I was throwing up all night and on the way to school". *sigh* while the school sends them home the second they KNOW they are sick, there isn't anything that can be done about them being sent. I just don't understand people.

Well I was listening to the news this morning and the CDC raised the pandemic level to a 5, I guess that's a first time in a very long time they've done that. I have to admit, i'm a little worried....cause it looks like it spreads so quickly. So i'm just gonna stay in my little corner of the world and hope and pray it doesn't come here.

Well it is in Utah now. One of our school districts closed for the rest of the week because of 3 sick kids. The news isn't saying more than that at this point.

We used to be in that situation. My DW had to work and so kids were in day care after school. She had to take off whenever one of the kids was sick. Day care charged if the kid was there or not. Some people can't get by with missing a day of work. Not saying it's right to send the kid to school, but it's life in real time.

No the next thing will be the torture trials. They'll be too busy trying to restore the USA's reputation to bother with people that were careless on their tax returns.

Reported on last nights news in Washington State. 6 Suspected cases.
My daughters are freaked out because a group of kids in their class just came back from a mission in Mexico and one of the teachers that went with them was sick. Apparently the teacher is fine now and none of the kids that went are sick. But none the less it still freaks my daughters out. I have warned them about the necessary precautions that they should be taking which seemed to ease their fears a little.

I just want to stay home on my little farm with my chickens but that is a pipe dream.
I must face the world.
Wishing everyone good health!
