Today's epidemic is the swine flu. Tomorrow will be a new disaster, and so on and so on. If your smart, you'll wash your hands of this whole pork bellied media hype (please do, I don't want to get sick) and go on with your life. Believe it or not the folks at CDC ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ) tell us to do the same thing for this swine flu that we do for the normal everyday flu. The list is a little overwhelming, but here it is:
First, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Second, wash your hands often with soap & water, especially after you cough or sneeze.
Lastly, avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
These steps seem to be a far stretch, but now that you have been updated from the same things your mom taught you and your kindergarten teacher, it's time for you to get back to your merry life. As most disasters come, (like Y2K) this too will pass. Remember you live in a a country, that has great health care, and as long as you do the simple things your mother always told you to do, everything will be just fine.
Could I tie this blog to the massive flocking of illegals that will be jumping our fence to escape the lastest pig outbreak, sure. But what would I have to write about tomorrow?
