RE:"It's already started. A child of one of our employees was throwing up last week. The parent was out with a nasty cold. Another worker got a nasty cold. Another child of an Intel employee was throwing up this week. A neighbor of mine said she is ill with the flu. And then another person said they have the flu. That's a bunch of people in just a week and it's only October. If this week is any prelude, it's going to be a horrible flu season." Let's see...there are 2 companies that make vaccine. There used to be 30. What happened to them? Answer...Many of them got sued by ambulance chasin' attorneys like the twit Edwards you are about to vote for. Not a lot of profit in vaccine makin' when you consider the potential lawsuits and skyrocketing insurance costs. Now I see another Attorney, Hillary Clinton, has the gaul to blame it on Bush...this is even lower than the "right wing conspiracy.

RE: "The flu season is nearly on us" It's already started. A child of one of our employees was throwing up last week. The parent was out with a nasty cold. Another worker got a nasty cold. Another child of an Intel employee was throwing up this week. A neighbor of mine said she is ill with the flu. And then another person said they have the flu. That's a bunch of people in just a week and it's only October. You ain't seen nothing yet if the current avian flu [as distinguished from the current human flu] gets into the general population. In at least two cases so far, they have determined that the avian flu has been transmitted between two humans instead of between a bird and human. If this flu mutates, and makes human to human transmission more feasible, we are in for a world of hurt. There is no vaccine yet for the avian flu........and its a killer. As for the general flu, Mr. Bush was too busy getting read for the RNC in September to pay much attention to the shortfall that was reported back then. ted
