Re: Swine Flu
I have reviewed the actions that many other countries havetaken to contain and avoid the outbreak of swine flu within their borders. japan is screening all incoming passengers. costa rica has two confrimed cases and is screening passengers. cuba has discontinued flights to mexico. and many other countries are doing similar things..... napolitano says its too late to contain it here.....what does she know? evry flight that arrives here has the potential of spreading the disease.... we need to close the border with mexico and we need to monitor all arrivals. NOW ! it has been 5 days since this story has been reported. and our govt has done very little to keep these new cases from arriving here. americans will die from this flu. how many will it take before the costs of taking these steps out weigh the benifits? 20, 100, 1000?
about 30,000 americans die each year from the flu and it is a serious disease.thsi has the potential to be exponentially worse than our yearly loss of life. WHO raised the threat level to 5 with 6 being a pandemic. This is happening fast and we need to act fast.
yesterday a cruise ship arrived in kona that was repositioned from mexico. it was in mexico last week so was its crew. it is going to be very easy for this to spread.
if we do everything we can and get hit hard it will also be a shame if we do everything we can and it doesnt really become the worst case scenario we have lost nothing.
if we do nothing and we get hit hard its it will be a crime.
sorry if i sound full of doom and gloom but we have to be aware of what is possible and what is at risk.
