I know I have been lax with my posts lately. There is so much going on in the world these last few days. I know there are things going on that should make us all a bit nervous. I find it interesting that such focus has been placed on the Swine Flu that we have failed to notice the 6.1% drop in GP for the first quarter of this year. Anyone notice that the Dow, in spite of the news of that drop, was up yesterday? I found that odd. Chrysler is going down.

I feel like our attention has been diverted from the economic crisis with the Swine Flu Pandemic. How can we not be concerned with the fact that this strain of flu is a biodesigner strain? It didn't just occur, it was man made.
If this Swine Flu is so pandemic why is there only one death being reported? And that was a 23 month old baby from Mexico. How did we reach a level 5 pandemic alert? Is there some other reason they moved this fast? Anyone aware that if this moves to level 6 we will be subject to martial law? Actually at level 5 they can implement martial law. I'm just tossing out random thoughts here.

Check this out though.... has anyone else been wondering WTF is this company doing?"Baxter has been chosen by the WHO to head up efforts to produce a vaccine for the Mexican swine flu that is spreading throughout the U.S. and Europe.

The decision was made despite further revelations last month that vaccines contaminated with deadly live H5N1 avian flu virus were recently distributed to 18 countries by a lab at an Austrian branch of Baxter.

Initially, the company attempted to stonewall questions by invoking “trade secrets” and refused to reveal how the vaccines were contaminated with H5N1. After increased pressure they then claimed that pure H5N1 batches were sent by accident.

However, as we have highlighted, the probability of mixing a live virus biological weapon with vaccine material by accident is virtually impossible." WHAT?

Let's all line up for those flu shots ok?

I think I need to just go sit out by the garden and do a little meditation and just try to put all this out of my mind for a little bit. It's giving me a head and heart ache.
