Prickly City by Scott Stantis for May 13, 2009

I can remember the FIRST “Swine Fu pandemic” of the 1970’s it was, well a whole lot like this one iirc. But then again I’m old.

That is right. It was a joke then and it is a joke now. Less than a dozen dead from the so called swine flu and it is panic time. Pay no attention to the thousands who die every year from normal flu.

So, would you rather have it prove to be what they fear? Better to raise concerns than ignore the possibilities.

Piggy cries Wolf…

May be true wonder old fellow, but the problem is that this happens every time there is a minor crisis. Sooner or later, like the boy who cryed wolf, people will ignore it when there is real danger.
