Mino vs. H1N1.mpg

Seems as though every livestock we eat can get us sick. First the bird flu. Then madcow. And now, swine flu! What's next? Rover Fever?

The H1N1, also affectionately called "hiny,"has been a global pain-in-the-ass this year. Many of the schools here in Washington State were shut down for days during the scare. My workplace was also hit. Many patients were infected and isolated, while a colleague ended up in the ICU. At our church. drinking wine, shaking hands, and using holy water are now being discouraged.

Although the symptoms can be more severe, Influenza A (H1N1) behaves much like the common seasonal influenza. Children, the elderly, and people with existing illnesses or weakend immune system are at higher risk.For information about the swine flu, visit the CDC website @ http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/parents/.

I bet Al-Qaida is laughing at us now for eating all them pork.
