OT: stupid swine flu

Here is the rational behind it.........

1. create a panic in American citizens.  DONE
2A. Americans are scared and since the economy is so bad and many don't have insurance for whatever reason.  DONE
2B. Come out with a quick plan (like the stimulis) for Nationalized Health care.
3. Because of people's fear they won't question it can pass it without a debate.
4. WE ARE SCREWED IN AMERICA 2 times since Obama took office.


First our children will never be able to pay off the national debt.
Second we will be waiting in lines for medical treatments you could get immediately

What is next?

LOL, Will.  Agree with you!

Even better than that, I was trying to get in to see my doctor yesterday for sinus funk x 6 days. I was questioned 5 different times on if I had a fever or sore throat. They said they were screening for people with the Swine Flu and not letting them into the office! ummm what is wrong with this picture???

They set up tents outside Dell Children's Hospital so the sick kids who may or may not have Swine Flu couldn't go into the hospital.  CRAZY!!!!

We always try to be careful mainly since Jeff got sick we take extra steps.  I have so much hand sanitizer it isnt funny.  Brian is a postman so they have told them to extra steps but I think all of this has got out of hand.  They have closed MAYFEST!!  We were planning on going this weekend but not now. 

Becky I went yesterday to buy extra hand sanitizer and the Walgreens and CVS just down the road are both almost out....they said people are buying it up everywhere. 

I didnt think about everyone buying it up.  I have TONS of Bath and Bodyworks stuff.  I love their stuff because it smells GOOD.  I might make a trip to the mall this afternoon...........lol!!!

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

I think it's a ploy to use up all the Tamaflu that is about to expire, additional money to stimulate the economy and scare the crap out of parents.  You know we'll spend whatever money we can to take care of our babies.

Our schools are open, to my knowledge there is one Private Catholic School in Lafayette that was closed due to 5-6 students with "flu like symptoms".  They've been tested and are waiting for results; one of the students had just returned from Mexico last week.  Our schools have cancelled all field trips to Texas but not anywhere else locally. 

I guess since Texas is closer to Mexico they are "protecting our children", *sigh* ok whatever.  My oldest is going to the Louisiana State Capital next week at this point.....makes lots of sense ya think our government offices are still open......until the confirm more cases I suspect.

I did buy my boys hand sanitizer and told them to wash your hands more often and by golly you better wash your hands when you get out the bathroom.

Gross story:  Our Admin made a snide comment about the men in our office not washing their hands after they potty.....and yes she knows because her office is by the bathroom and she NEVER hears the fauce****er come on, toilet flushed and they walk out.  Ewwwwww how disgusting.

What better time to :

A.   Push socialized medicine.. "look everyone - we will give you free Tamiflu.  And when we have socialized medicine it will be like that all the time.  Just don't worry about the lines and waiting.. REMEMBER IT'S FREE!"

B.  In the middle of this panic there was a $3.85 gazabillion budget passed in the middle of the night.  Gee, did THAT make the news?
