Swine Flu ?

[Bobby Headrick]

I was wondering why no one is disscussung this. It seems to be spreading fast. That worries me as I have to deal with a lot of illegals who cross back and forth from Mexico. Also the State of Ky has said nothing to us front line workers who are very vuerable to all kinds of virus. They said if someone comes in here sick that we CANNOT REFUSE to see them and we cannot were a mask to protect ourselfs, in fear of upsetting the illegal clients. What is so funny about this virus is that it did not come from pigs, it is a new mutated strain. One thing to think about, the Mexican drug cartels move a lot of herion to the US, and most of this herion comes from Afganistan and the middle east where it is controled by the Taliban and al Quida. Could be a connection? Are we being invaded? We legal citizens are almost a minorty here in my county due to all the illegals. What are we to do?

If it's on Wikipedia, it MUST be true! j/k LOL

All kidding aside, I think the Pig Flu crap is way overblown by the media. Yeah, there's a flu...yeah, we don't know a ton about it...and yeah it's spreading. But the regular old snot-rocket flu kills several thousand more people than this each year. Being proactive is one thing, but I don't think there is much sense in worrying about milk that you haven't spilled yet. Keep an eye on it, wash your hands, don't share a van ride with a bunch of Mexicans, break off any relationships that you have with farm animals (even if monogamous), and keep on truckin...

That was one of the funniest **** things I've read on this site in a long long time, lol. Brian we have got to go fishing sometime, we need to take your act on the road, Me and Don can be your road mangagers, lol.

This is just like the SARS scare, nothing more. BTW, You will be hearing about a case in louisville in the next few days, once the results are finalized by the CDC. I can't tell any more than that until it is made public.

The Derby would be a pretty good place for it to start distributing............

I wonder if the Mint Julips will kill the dreaded "Swine Flu"?

Maybe the ones up on Millionaire's Row would, but the last one I had at the Derby (admittedly, this was back in the 80's) wouldn't have killed much of anything, except maybe your appetite. They were pretty watered down, and they used the "original recipe," which includes Branch Water. Now if you know what branch water is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_water) it makes sense why they use it in the bourbon-making process, but it tastes to me like it was dipped out of Floyd's Fork... and by that I mean the part that runs by Miles Park, where it's basically an E. Coli farm. yuck!
