Curious George has the "Goods" on the Flu/Pandemic

No, not Obama. I meant George at Urban Survival. (Okay, yup, I am still really "schnuffy", tired and achey - but not so much that I can't be a little snotty. Dr. Happy says it is a rhinovirus, dropped some cans of chicken soup on the counter - high-tailed it to the desert to work for a few days. *b'rack, b'rack* Alright, truthfully, he made a fresh pot of lemon green tea before he left, too.)

While I was hepped up on antihistamines, decongestants and Advil trying to achieve "Claratin Clear" nirvana, George was doing his darndest to provide credible links that I meant to have yesterday about the Mexican Flu being a "man-created disaster". (Naw, we all know women wouldn't be doing crap like that, now, don't we? *INSERT EVIL HILLARY CACKLE HERE*)

George also posted the practical things to have on hand to get through the pandemic and, luckily, I do have most of that stuff. (Food, water, bleach, latril gloves and meds - no smart aleckey comments from the Peanut Gallery, Folks!) You have plenty of time to gather your supplies. George's crystal ball says it will be really crappy in the autumn.

One thing that George dug up from Reuters-UK:

Here are some facts about the virus and flu viruses in general:

* The World Health Organization has confirmed at least some of the cases are a never-before-seen strain of influenza A virus, carrying the designation H1N1.

* Although it's called swine flu, this new strain is not infecting pigs and has never been seen in pigs. The threat is person to person transmission.

* It is genetically different from the fully human H1N1 seasonal influenza virus that has been circulating globally for the past few years. The new flu virus contains DNA typical to avian, swine and human viruses, including elements from European and Asian swine viruses.

Of course, this was the PERFECT situation to get Congress to approve Kathleen Sebalius as the Head of HHS. Yup, like we need a enthusiastic euthanist in charge of Health and Human Services. My eldest son in Kansas said that now that she is out of the state, they are building a fence 200 miles high to keep her from getting back in. No hope of getting her to leave DC, I suppose. We can only hope the Mexican flu will blanket Capitol Hill and slow down the fascist assault. *sigh*

Back to my regularly scheduled gripe sessions soon. Until then, AmericanThinker.com has some great fill-ins. Like this: How 'Bout that Boy-Genius in the White House? Didn't think New Yorkers would be worried about "Low-Flying Jets" near Manhattan...and The One knew and threatened NYPD if they told the greater population of NYC...Enjoy.

Oh, and don't breath in. It will keep you from getting any "bugs". And it will make Al Gore and the Wanna-be Hippies-types Happy. I know all of us Right Wing Extremists LIVE to make those folks do the Happy Dance (TM).
