Swine Flu Hits Home Area...

Now this is something....

GET THIS:

Swine flu has now hit my state. And to top it, within 4 miles of me. This is too close for comfort. And get this, the little 8 year old boy who has been confirmed had it 2 weeks ago & recovering. He was around other people in the mean time, instead of quaranteening all people who have any type of flu. HHR guy, on the news saying how this kid had the flu, still was around people. So this is being passed near others

So HHR guy then says, it wasn't until swine had made so much attention, they started sending all flu samples to cdc for testing. WTF? So technically this has been in my area for well over 2-3 weeks, and we didn't even know it. Heck for all I know I've been exposed to this horrible disease.

So I am on alert & going no where. I can do everything from my command center here, and avoid contamination. I have my sprayer bottle filled with alcohol to spray often. I could even spray the handles of a shopping cart if I had to go out for something very important. But all and all, I will be taking the stay home, stay safe approach to this pandemic.

With so much talk about swine flu, I ended up dreaming of airbourne pigs. Woke up craving bacon, so this lil piggy went to market.
