From Political Irony, a writeup on the GOP's response to the swine flu. Pigs.
Also, some actual facts about the flu. Important note: you CAN NOT get it from eating pork. So please, ladies, quit taking bacon away from your men. I have heard about a half dozen stories of guys losing access to bacon and this HAS TO STOP!
More info from Wired as well as the first non-Mexican story linking the flu outbreak to Smithfield Farms.
Also, NPR has a blog called Flu Shots that I plan on returning to throughout the outbreak. Just in case.
Google has a map of reported incidents of possible and confirmed cases of flu exposure. Give it a look.
Meanwhile, Nevada now has it's first case as do nine other states.
I'm not ready to panic but I sure the hell don't plan any major road trips for awhile either.
