Have you purchased your supply of these yet?

[JudynTX]

Just wondering.



Be sure to wash your hands!

So no more bacon?

This is me at work today.

I bet that makes answering the phone difficult.

I had a potato and bacon taco today. Hope I don't die

My employer gifted my booth with two bottles of Germ-x.
It seemed really random until I remembered the headlines.

I have an excellent immune system, so I wonder if I can trade the germ-x in for its cash value.

You work semi close to cibolo. I'd be careful!

Yeah, but I can see the hot chick all the way over in Human Resources, and there are walls between us.

Are you wearing fatigues too?

[desflood]

Mostly, this thing is being blown way out of proportion.

I was told ladies go nuts for a guy in uniform.

Yes, and I go to youth church with a girl who goes to Steele H.S.

So ... what's really the difference between this flu and the *regular* flu? I mean, there's no cure for that one, either ... and those who get it will either get over it or wind up in the hospital. Either way, you shouldn't be going to work or school with fever anyway. WTF?

Or is this like the Ebola Flu, and the fact that I live in Live Oak should have me grabbing my kids, packing our and GTF out of Dodge?

From what I've read (I studied this like - worried about my little asthmatic ) the main difference is that this usually only affects pigs. It's pretty rare for humans to contract it. I don't think you can get it from eating infected pork, only from an infected human. They do have specific anti-virals to target swine flu, and they do have some here in TX. It's not a world epidemic or anything - the main infection is in Mexico.

Not everyone has the luxury of taking sick days, unfortunately.

Our priest yesterday told everyone they didn't have to hold hands for the "Our Father" or have to shake hands when wishing each other peace. I thought there were only seven cases here in the US?

As far as I understand, this strain of flu is more dangerous because it combines genetic materials of pigs, birds, and humans in a way scientists haven't encountered. Thus, not only are our immune systems less prepared to handle it, but we also don't have a treatment developed for it.

However, drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza seem to be effective so far, especially if taken early in the symptoms, and cases in the U.S. seem to have been treated much more successfully than the outbreak in Mexico.

And this swine flu is covered by the tama flu vaccine and the other (can't remember the name) common flu vaccine. So if it really starts getting out of hand they'll start vaccinating everyone. And supposedly there is enough vaccine to go around.

It's not about the luxury of whether or not you have any sick days. Typically with whatever you have, you are contageous when you have fever.

Especially when you have a job that not only has you in close contact with other coworkers, but the general public as well. That is a huge health concern and ridiculously irresponsible to put others at risk.

I need to get me one of these.
