Earlier this week in one of the over hyped press conferences concerning the over hyped swine flu bug... err... outbreak... err... epidemic... err... pandemic... err... hide the women and children! But don't panic! Anyway. I thought I would talk for just a moment about something that I saw on the news.
They were having a press conference with the new Secretary of Homeland Security, you know, the failed Governor of Arizona? Anyway, she was talking about all that the Federal Government is doing to help to get us through this potential pandemic, because, you know, we didn't know to wash our hands and steer clear of sick people until she spoke up... again, back to the point. She was talking about the distribution of some of the drugs that the Federal Government stockpiled under Bush, just in case this really becomes a major outbreak. Actually, I don't have a problem with that, it's probably smart. Anyway, in talking about the anti viral medications she said that these drugs helped to lessen the symptoms to make people feel better. Um... No. That's what some medicines do, like NyQuil and other such over the counter drugs, but most people can run down to the drug store and get that themselves, and there's not much chance of there being shortage of such things. The drugs that she was talking about are fairly new drugs that attack the viruses themselves and help your body to kill them, making you not sick anymore.
Honestly, we are supposed to trust in these people who can't even get the most basic facts right? Do you feel safe now?
