I don’t know if this swine flu deal is like the “bird flu” scare, or the “honey bees disappearing” scare. But this one does seem to have some mojo. I guess we will see.
A troubling aspect of this is the age group that is most affected.
Another is that the Obama administration, at least according to them, didn’t know anything about it even though it was out there for at least a week.
Ooh, just thought of a very cynical thing… maybe Obamamunism is looking to use this Swine Flu thing to help push his Socialist Health Care system.
Just keep this in mind: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” while you remember that the Obama administration wants to push through health care reform.
