Swine Flu

Joe,

I am writing because I want to try to educate a few very insensitive, obnoxious individuals. I work for a chicken plant. Do you know how many times I have been questioned today about why our Hispanic population is being allowed to work today? My response is always the same. Do you have any knowledge of them traveling to Mexico in the past few weeks? The answer is always NO!! Just because you are Hispanic doesn't mean that you have the flu. If, however, an individual has been to Mexico then there is reason for concern. You CANNOT get the swine flu from a person just because they are Hispanic. I swear the ignorance of some people sometimes is overwhelming.

Thanks for your help.

Wake Up People!!!

Look at the cases worldwide...maybe .1/1,000,000th of the total population has Swine Flu (and it's only a flu virus), and the Media has blown it into a full force "pandemic"! The media wants a panic and people are falling for it.

There's a plan to all this and you can bet your a$$ on that!
