nothereanymore Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Great article, (I love MSN) there's just so many ways that this thing could go. I'm just liven life and watching. And Mona, I'm on the East Coast about 6 times per year. I always say I'm going to stop and take some time in the city. Next time I go we'll make (argh - ha-ha - should be meet)!! up and see if we can make a weekend of it! Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRN Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Nice article.. Thanks! Here is another from Dr Marc Siegel in NY. http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/04/...s-fear-not-flu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiney42 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 It's a fine article, I really don't see much Panic I hear the news being reported and numbers climbing but I don't see panic, Now you want to talk panic look at what went down 4/27 with Obama's plane looking for a photo opt in NYC causing people to run out of their building thinking 9/11 was happening all over again.... Since 9/11 there is a NO fly zone over Manhattan bottom line a second school is now closed in NYC 45 people with 2 hospitalized And it is spreading. But I don't think anyone is panicing 2,000 people sick in MX and 140 or was that 150 dead that fox blog is dated April 25th, 2009 11:49 AM Eastern.... Isn’t up to date Some see it as caution BUT here in NYC we are really holding our heads we’re not losing it and we are hit the hardest..........

IrishRN Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 The blog is about the most powerful virus is FEAR not FLU ... it is topical... it doesnt have to be outdated for the author to get his message across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiney42 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I read it- but since it was posted things have gotten worse! those numbers NO longer hold up. With a new swine flu strain spreading among close to 1,000 people in Mexico and at least eight in the U.S., and with 61 reported deaths in Mexico, the most powerful virus pushing out its tentacles is not flu but fear. We are afraid of what we don’t know and what we don’t understand that's All............. I think Dan posted an update.......... Take it easy ladies... I'm gonna go check out what Dan said...........
