Always hearing comments about disasters, illnesses, plagues, blaming heads of states, countries. I don't understand what THEY have to do with the disasters except for the follow up in sending help once an issue is eminent or in motion. They don't create the issues, disasters, plagues. The people who contract the viruses such as H1N1 is passed from those having it already. Accidental exposure is a small way to spread it, the largest is those who don't care that they cough, sneeze in others faces, etc When you are sick stay home, away from people. I have seen people in grocery stores sick with it. Touching carts, then food items, picking them up, putting them back. Each time leaving their virus stamp for the next one. Sneezing over the unbagged fruit, vegies is a sure fire guarentee that you shared. It takes NOT much brains to figure it out. Children have a good line on it. Cough/sneeze in inside elbow, wash, wash, wash. Adults, who should know better, spread more virus because of carelessness or not giving a crap. Putting the name of the heads of state/country to reason of blame is not rational. Thus, hand in hand, who is doing more damage? Those who think they know more--but just not know better.

Why are people so worked up about this? About 70 times more people die from the regular flu(influenza) than of swine flu. What did Bush ever do to stop this Harold? Or was he too busy steering our country to an economic depression that he didn't have time?!?
