Paul,

I believe what you said is true.  I mean, I think they are trying to close
the barn door after the horse has already gone.  At any rate, whatever this
flue type is, it won't kill you but you'll wish you would die just to get
over it.  I know what happen here in Colorado.  Some dad blamed foreigner,
who doesn't know how to ride a horse and doesn't wear a cowboy hat or cowboy
boots, flew in from overseas and brought this thing with them.  Gots to
blame somebody for it.  And to think Denver just had to built an
international airport so we could get direct flights from all over the
planet.  Of course, the West Nyle virus last summer was no picnic here in
Colorado either.  I sure hope that thing goes away or they come up with some
shot for it or something.  They had a few cases of West Nile over in Idaho
right at the end of the mosquito season.  So they are thinking it will
continue west next season.  What I can't figure out is why big mosquito
states like Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, a state with more
mosquitoes than any five states, and then, of course, theres Nebraska, North
and South Dakota, and think of Missouri and all the southern states.  I just
can't figure out how Colorado was so hard hit compared to the rest of the
country.  It makes you wonder if the dumb virus is going to move back and
forth across the country until they come up with a vaccine.

Phil.
