It just goes to show you: If it isn’t one thing, it’s another.

We want people to stay at home if you are sick. Do not go to work. Do no go to school. Do not travel- airplane, bus- no form of travel.
Quotation from Wilma J. Wooten, President, San Diego Society of the National Medical Association
Were those days of irrational exuberance recent? I must have missed them.
(Breathe with care…)
Thats a pretty field in your picture – I think if I feel unwell, I’d like to go and lay down in the middle of it. I think I missed those exuberant days too – can we recall them please? We will all be wearing those rubbery looking WW2 gas/face masks soon … not an attractive look.
I am willing to bet good money my company will take the chance and make us work sick even if this became a massive epidemic. I love my job!!
I just wish these idiots raising our meat would stop screwing around with cheming up our livestock. Nature made them the way they are through millions of years of evolution and you bastards think you can screw with that and have no consequences? Sheer idiocy.
I guess, we are the threat….don
I guess, we (the population) are the threat….am I right?
no no…irrational exhuberance is essential. But perhaps we’ll just express it differently?
I try to stay rationally exuberant.
The pollen is painful. The pork products are delicious.
Everyone I know who sneezes wonders if they are getting the swine flu.
I’m pretty sure Swine Flu is just a more sophisticated way of saying Pig Cooties.
And do you say Twitter!?!
It’s insane to believe you can have a huge part of you population with either no or inadequate medical coverage and expect to manage a health crisis.. not that I’m convinced we’re having one now.
The field is beautiful.
Ah! I missed ya. You left a comment right as I was logging back in. So close … but yet so far.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hopefully it won’t progress past a milder pandemic but nevertheless I’ll take my chances( it’s been one thing after another ) and try to avoid it and all the other nasty bugs as ’m soon off to South Africa, Malawi. England, Wales, Ireland, Hong Kong.
Best wishes
I hope it doesn’t come down to us wearing surgical masks as we sit in our cars at stoplights casually loking at each other, pointing fingers and laughing! I’ve been sick at home twice this year due to idiots who won’t cover their mouth when they cough. To me, that’s unconscionable. So, I bring a bottle of hand sanitizer with me to work. Stay well, Sera!

My post about bacon-filled waffles last week was quite untimely. I swear I didn’t know about the swine flu pandemic when I wrote it. Apparently I’ve had my head in the sand like an Ostrich, which will only mean trouble if the Avian flu pandemic is still around.
I will consent with Abigail, that is a beautiful field!
As for swines, I don’t know. Seems a bit of a hype to me. But I’ll have to pat myself on the shoulder, posted pigs on my blog just before the outbreak… clairvoiant now???
I would run to that gorgeous field if I was sick!
