The Flu & Military Quarantine

[Lamb Boy]

Just wondering about how you guys felt about Bush stating yesterday that any part of the country that has an outbreak of the new flu will be quarantined with the use of military force.

Stupid birds starting all these problems ... kill them ALL!! heheh

My girlfriend thinks it's a good idea ... I'm sorta on the fence about the issue myself.

My advice, wash the hell out of your hands and remember a flu shot isn't a cure all. Remember that last years flu is only NOW being covered by this years shots, meaning they need time to create a vaccine (i.e. there isn't a flu shot for the flu that's coming THIS year). Taking zinc and vitC only works BEFROE you catch an illness. Actually I should say they work best before as preventative measures. Chin up chin up!

If I get the bird flu I'm flying to D.C. and coughing and sneezing around Capitol Hill.

edit: Oh and I'll try to pick my nose and touch as many politicians as I can before being arrested.

I've been sick for weeks. I rather get that flu over these stomach pains.

In 1918, when most of the world was in quarantine (due to the hostilities and travel restrictions of WW1) millions still died of Spanish Flu.

I've had bronchitis for a couple weeks and am quarantining myself from school.

I've had that before, and honestly it was horrible. The best part of it though was when I would breath, it would sound like a wind instrument.
