It’s all about using some common sense:
If you run around like your hair is on fire in an emergency situation, you will die.
So.
Here are some common sense things you need to know in order to deal with H1N1.
You can’t get it from eating Pork- not unless a sick Pig sneezes or spits on it before you eat it. And if that is indeed the case you need to eat it and die because you should not be in a position to add your Genes to the Human Gene Pool- in fact, they need to be removed.
And I’m talking every last trace.
Don’t blame Mexicans, people with brown skin or that poor child in Texas who died for this Flu. If you’re a Racist don’t use something like a Virus to bolster your arguments. Viruses are vicious and Evil on their own and they don’t need any help from you. In fact, it’s possible you could give them a bad name.
Don’t worry about the Media overreacting to this story-. Its what they do. THEY TELL STORIES. And if the stories don’t sizzle you don’t pay attention to them. Haven’t you noticed that yet?
I say for information, go to the CDC site . But remember, you’re not a Doctor and if you memorize the H1N1 symptoms I can guarantee…YOU WILL HAVE THEM BY THE NEXT DAY.
So keep calm, don’t panic and remember the flu can make you sick, but Ignorance is a Killer.
Stay In Good Health.

It’s nice to see someone speaking good sense. I think they’re making way too much of all this. And as for some of these politicians, well, even the pigs are ashamed oi them.

Cool heads shall prevail- and if that head can be funny at the same time Vi…Well…

yep, sensible and funny – good on you!
Maybe we should give an open invite to anyone in the media to go out for carnitas (pork) tacos at our favorite Mexican restaurant. And I don’t mean Taco Bell.
That’s a waste of a good taco.
Just get a pig to cough on them.
It’ll be funnier and probably get the desired result.
If you change the 1’s to “I”s in H1N1, you could call it the “Hiney Flu”, which is appropriate since all the hype is being perpetuated by the news media butt-heads.
Personally I refuse to go along with the stories the media tell to keep their numbers up. According to our papers it is very serious. Two Australians, in London, are confined to quarters with suspected swine flu. And now, they are trying to tell everyone not to panic and not to stock up. That is now the news! Insane! Frankly I am happier to read stuff here.
H1N1 looks suspiciously like the pattern on the carpet at the Gimcrack
You are ruining Christmas Anita.
It’s good to hear someone talking sense. I like the idea of pigs sneezing. Over here in Australia our Prime Minister is telling us to wash our hands with soap often. I wonder if that will help or is it like the old story from the 1950s that Government advice in the event of a nuclear blast was to put a paper bag over your head and hide under the kitchen table.
I had a tickle in my throat while waiting for carnitas to go at my favorite restaraunt the other day. People turned to look at me scowling as though I was infested with swine cooties and should be thrown out of the place. I left on my own to go to the car for a piece of gum so I would stop coughing and returned for my order. It might have been funny if it didn’t feel so hostile! I wanted to stand up and scream, “Take a chill pill! I’m on my second round of antibiotics for a sinus infection! It’s closer to the whine flue and not contagious!” Geez…Now I know who watches too much news…
Nice response to this blaring issue, Anita Marie!
Give that pig a Kleenex! Sage advice, Anita.
I heard the Kevin Rudd advice too – wash your hands and if you fly in from another country please fill out a wriiten declaration to advise if you have flu like symptoms. Its so high tech.
The media love a good dead horse to flog and this seems to be it. Or maybe its a dead pig.
I always wonder what media hysteria like this is really covering up??? Whats happening that they don’t want us to see or read about?
In solidarity with all the poor pigs who are suffering in this world, I roasted a pork loin yesterday for dinner. I enjoyed every bite of it.
Seriously, I am absolutely astounded that people actually think you can get the flu from eating pork. Good grief.
I do so love your honesty-and you put things in such a concise and precise manner. Perfect.
Over here, sales of pork have gone down, despite the fact that the news keeps repeating that YOU CANNOT GET SWINE FLU FROM PORK.
>.<
People tend to over-react a lot.
THANK YOU AM. first, the virus is NOT swine flu, it is a mix of swine, avian & human. (my sister is a public health official–i LOVE that–i get all the latest CDC info.) there has not yet been a case of swine -> human transfer. there has, however, been a case of human -> swine transfer. but as usual, the media takes it over and people will believe what the wish…
Blame Stephen King for the hysteria lol. Mind you I love The Stand and have watched it umpteen times, but the media just can’t wait for the real thing.
