Oink

Swine flu. Are you worried? Me, I am too busy and too tired to worry. After all, what the heck can I do about it, anyway? I'm making sure everyone takes their daily vitamin and washes their hands, but it's not a major lifestyle change.

Here's what I'm wondering, though:

Assume Swine Flu goes pandemic; people dropping like flies. What happens? Are we all confined to our homes? What happens to life as we know it? There's no one going to work, so bills go unpaid. Will mortgage companies still foreclose, or will there be no one there to handle the paperwork? Electricity? Nope, not if no one is working. No gasoline, either, if there is no one to run the store, haul the gasoline to the pumps or if there's no electricity to power them. What about grocery stores? No electricity means no refrigeration. No people working, no food deliveries...you see where this is going.

So..what do you think? I of course am hoping this whole thing peters out. Does anyone have a link to a government site with plans for how to handle a pandemic?

Yeah, how pleasant. I'm about two miles away from the Queens outbreak. Guess we should have moved a month earlier!

Sorry I haven't been able to check in as much with getting ready for the move!
