Important Flu Info

According to a report that aired on NPR yesterday, the flu in Mexico is killing in a similar pattern as the 1918 flu. The majority of the people who succumbed were relatively young and healthy while the elderly and the very young often survived. You would think just the opposite would be true. Research has been showing that it was not the 1918 virus itself that killed, it was the body's nuclear response that killed. The filling of lungs with fluid and other immune responses did the dirty work. Ironically, people with healthier immune systems died.

Right now it is inconclusive as to whether this pattern is recurring or whether the elderly and young in Mexico received a modicum of protection from this year's flu shot.

Keep your ear to the ground and keep in mind that those who are telling you to strengthen your immune system may be giving you lethal advice.

One thing we know for sure is that Janet Napoleon isn't doing jack shit. The Mexican border is still open. Flights are still coming in from Mexico. And the Resident is playing golf. Seriously, the asshole played golf today. Fuck you Obama! Thanks Diamond Tiger for giving me another reason to tell the Resident to go fuck himself.

This is what a President would do. Shut down the border with Mexico. Shut down all flights. Anyone in this country who recently traveled from Mexico should be quarantined as should anyone who came in contact with them. American nationals in Mexico should be brought home and quarantined or quarantined in Mexico at the government's expense. That's how you respond to this crisis rather than letting it potentially spread...unless you want as many people infected as possible.
