[Veto!]

thin cotton gloves eliminate the passage of the virus to the facial openings?After all, Michael Jackson wears one, and look how healthy HE is!

Recent studies indicate that wearing thin cotton gloves makes you crazy and disintegrates your nose. Other than that, it's a great idea, TC. LOL

Hummm.......so that's it!!

I used to be able to pick my nose with my finger. Now I have to use a Q-Tip!

I said that they were looking. Not that they found.

Wow, they're a couple weeks behind schedule with the annual "worst flu ever" story. Most have been distracted by the election of something.

And stay tuned, coming to a headline near you, in about two weeks, the annual "worst Christmas ever" story. These traditions are very important to American journalists.

Yes. There were those who died of bacterial pneumonia, they died differently then those who died of the flu.

The flu killed in under five days from onset of symptoms. People who died from secondary infections died more slowly, in about two weeks IIRC.

Bookmark for later printing. The flu is nothing to sneeze at. The 1918 version was noted for the mortality rate of young otherwise healthy individuals. Every year the flu spreads around the world. You can't stop it. We have been lucky the strains have been mild. The flu is also highly mutable. If it becomes lethal this will no longer seem funny.
Remember it killed more that the first World War.
