IS A PANDEMIC ON THE WAY!?
If you have been doing things with pigs lately, then I hope you washed your hands after ...
Unfortunately this is not the kind of thing to joke around and sure not the best news to start the weekend. We all go on with our lives like nothing can happen to us, but one morning we could wake up and the world as we know it can be really different.
Today officials in Mexico city have shut down schools, museums theaters and other public venues because of a swine flu outbreak. Mexican Army distribute face masks as prevention. Experts say the virus which infected just a few humans who were in direct contact with pigs has mutated into a more dangerous form that is passed between people. It contains human virus, avian virus from North America, and pig viruses from North America, Europe and Asia an intercontinental combination never seen before.
I know that countries would NEVER take the decision to close their own borders (airports, ports, land) when something like this happen even if this would be the only way to control and see if this thing is serious. This would mean an economical disaster and unfortunately we know that today economy as shitty as it can be prevail on many other things includding world's health! I really hope this f*#king thing is gonna stop!
