Yes ...flu and politics do mix.....with big business at the helm.
Can you even name anything that is competing more for medical attention than flu? Hospitals filled to capacity. Dr offices full. Waiting in lines for shots. Nothing.....nothing .......will drag Americans out in all weather quicker than these words.....running out of supplies. Of what? Of anything.
People who had no plans to get the shots ran out at once stood in line .....because there was a news story to say .....few shots available.
Americans for some reason think...if it is nearly gone...it must be damn good.
Short supply means ....hurry buy it up fast.
You may ask..."what is it ?" I will answer ..'what difference does it make...we will soon be running out..."
However on a very serious note....people are dying.
If we Quarantined people as we once did it would have been over by now...or perahps not spread at all if it is a quarantined situation from the start.
There are many reasons not to quarantine. Schools recieve funding for filled chairs and numbers in attendance. Half alive counts as one.
Employment can be terminated for lack of attendance. College credits lost if failure to appear in classes. Jail time if no doctors excuse for no court appearances .
But most important when you are not out spreading germs ...you are not out spreading cash.
Cash ladies and gentlemen....cash.
If you still have a dollar and /or a credit card that works......dont you dare die.
Illness is a great economy booster....so make people stay home? Nahhh......From making or buying soup, juices, aspirin tylenol, thra flu etc....to Dr visits shots, hospital ER, inpatient, flannel PJ's robes , slippers, gowns, sox....(.come on ...we all do it.)...to more TP...and tissiues for noses....cough syrups, rubs, atomizers, steam producing gear, electric blankets, pails,get well cards, and e-mails, gas for running around....
And last..........dying is very expensive.
