As swine flu cases are being confirmed across the nation, the Obama administration finally declared a flu emergency. Naturally, President Obama decided to take the day off the play a round of golf.
Interestingly, the US government still won’t seal the border with Mexico.
Doctors in America are advising worried patients to buy painters’ masks as a precaution against the global outbreak of swine flu that appears to have spread from Mexico to the United States, New Zealand and possibly Europe.
With the worldwide death toll standing at about 81 and with about 1,300 people infected, authorities across the globe are torn between the desire to slow down a potential flu pandemic and the need to avoid bringing major cities on every continent to an economic standstill.
As of today, the US was still allowing people to cross the border from Mexico – where it is thought the swine flu emerged last week – although customs officials at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa border crossings were given protective masks. It is thought that eight people in US border towns have gone down with swine flu, and tonight Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that a further eight cases have been confirmed among students in New York.

All I can say is keep washing your hands or use hand sanitizer when soap and water is unavailable. Also try to avoid crowds, cough into your arm (not your hands) and if you’re sick please stay home.
“Never fail to take advantage of of a good emergency”
Not enough peeps have this for it to be an “emergency.”
All this does is scare folks and takes our attention off the shennanigans going on in DC.
It’s an “emergency” but they would seal the border?
