That was anticlimactic

So it seems the swine flu petered out without much death or destruction (though Mexico took it harder). The World Health Organization thinks this will be a long slog, and it is worth noting that the 1918-19 influenza had a little stutter-step false start before it came back in force.

Most people I know are blaming the media. I am not surprised at all by that, because most people claim to hate the media. I will ask you this: how many times have you posted a RIT that did not have to save a downed firefighter? That's active preparation, just like what a lot of us went through in the last couple of weeks.

And now we're all tired of the flu, so I'll move on.
