Poll question: What will kill more Americans this Winter, terror or the flu? |
|
I'm predicting a flu epidemic. If you are a high-risk person, please go get the vaccine. There are free and discount places that will give it to you if you can prove the need.

1. People are going to be so terrified ... |
|
they'll be too afraid to leave the house to get food, making them more susceptible to the flu. At the end of the day, it will all be *'s fault, so ...

4. I think it is disturbing |
|
that there aren't other companies making the flu vaccine. I mean they had to have seen this coming.
I realize the nature of the flu is that there are many different strains each year and the vaccine is just for the one they predict will be most common, but come on!

6. I was watching a special on this |
|
and basically they were saying no big Pharmie Companies will touch the flu vaccine because of the same old repuke reason. There is no money in it. The shots are expensive to produce and they are given out cheap. The lovely irony of this is most of the vaccines(before they ran out) were produced by a French company. Now we have something else to blame them for.

5. If you are fit, I say suck it up and be tough |
|
Don't avoid people or sit in your room and be antisocial. When you get it, just tough it out. You can beat it. They don't have enough vaccine but there is more than enough treatment out there. And if you're trying to lose weight...voila! You'll lose some on the new "flu" diet!

8. Hypothermia and starvation will take us... |
|
We'll freeze to death while we're starving because we sent all the grocery money to the heat company and they said "Nice try, we still want another $300 before we turn it back on..."
But only those of us who won't be spending 5 days instead of 10 days in Aruba as their idea of "Cutting back"....
