I've been telling people that the swine flu is a distraction. I mean, what kind of bull [censored] is it when a weak flu bug makes this kind of news? Under the last administration we had the terrorist threat level, now we have the pandemic threat level. Wow, it's a 5. Nobody knows what it means, but it's gotta be bad.
I've run into people who think it's a real threat and our society is gonna shut down, but it's a real stick in their spokes when I point out that there's only been one death in the U.S. from swine flu. 99% chance of survival but the news is going at it full steam.
Can't let a crisis go to waste.
