Narrowly avoided death this weekend!
I'm still shaking. I can't believe how close it came. You truly never know how wonderful your life is until you face your mortality.
Yes, I went out in public during the swine flu pandemic! Without a mask or gloves. I shook hands with people at church. I touched things that other's had touched. I breathed the same air as others in an elevator. I must have a death wish.
Really, can we calm the heck down?!?! Ted Kennedy's car has killed more Americans than Swine Flu.
I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but if you think about it, with all the swine flu panic on the TV, what have you not been hearing about? The economy! The fact that the government is taking over more and more private business. Layoffs. Bankruptcy. The unions being given majority ownership of Chrysler. Ted Kennedy's car.
It's just a bit too much "wag the dog" for me. CNN reports 985 confirmed cases of swine flu in the world. 26 deaths (25 in Mexico, and 1 in the US, a mexican child visiting relatives). The CDC reports that regular influenza kills 36,000 American's annually.
So, why the uproar? Why the panic? It's a non-event. Calm down, everyone.

I am still giggling about the Ted Kennedy comment. :-)
