[SBE] flu facts

[A9xw at cs.com]

We're taking the cconservative approach. There is flu every year. Several 
past years the vaccine didn't work because it was the wrong kind, the flu 
didn't spread, etc.  The only known US death is an infant with no immune system 
and spent several days trying to get treatment. The only known case in IN 
was in South Bend, a student, and his case was described as MILD and was 
cured in days.  So rather than follow the Chicken Little "The Flue is Coming" 
mantra of the  media, and instead of killing all the good germs with over use 
of sanitize and other bacterial products that are not effective against 
virus, just the normal healthy hygiene of flush the toilet, wash your hands, 
then eat.  Also masks do not stop virus they are too small to be stopped by 
filter masks. 

I'm surprised there isn't a sudden urge to create a new EAS code FLU.  In 
case you missed it, even the experts say is a MILD version of flu.  So 
killing pigs, closing boarders, etc., is nothing but panic attack.  

Meanwhile, avoid hotel TV remotes, your keyboard, your phone, replace the 
furnace filters, wash out the AC coils, put up the mosquito killer UV lamps 
and start the BBQ. Nothing kills a virus better than fire. 

Next will come the terrorist origin theories. SBE can help by not spreading 
the Armageddon messages. 

Regards to all you healthy people
