POLICYWANKER SOAPBOX
As the World Media works round the clock to insure that everyone is terrified to be in public without hand sanitizer, CDC investigative scientists have identified Patient Zero in the heralded Swine Flu epidemic.
Two year-old Johnnie Peabody appears to be the culprit after Frenching a Mexican puerco in Chihuahua last February. Johnnie is fine now after a medical regimen of Chicken soup and crackers.
Last year, over 36,000 people died from complications of "Regular Old Flu". Up from previous years, but certainly not Front Page headline-worthy news.
So, instead of the hysteria (e.g. the healthy and gorgeous Mexican Soccer Team was forced to wear surgical masks as they made their way through Chicago's O'Hare airport for fear of... fear, I guess) can we all please take a collective uncovered breath of sanity?
Jeez-oh-Pete!
Maybe we could focus on Universal Health Care as a weapon against pandemics, instead of Home Depot paint masks...?
