I watched the press conference today I am not completely freaked out, even though we all know what a germaphobe I am. It sounds like the regular flu and it responds to two seperate antiviral drugs (according to the knowsits at the press conference). What I can't figure out is why we aren't testing passengers coming in from Mexico. Some other contries are testing US citizens coming into their country and we only have 80 something confirmed cases. But Mexico has like an outbreak and Napalitano says they are passively testing. Like getting flight attendants (no offense, but they aren't exactly doctors) to ask passengers if they feel ill. And if they feel ill they shouldn't board the plane. Seriously?
Now if I lived in Mexico (crossing myself). And was ill (crossing myself again). And I suspected pig flu. And I decided that free medical treatment in the US was better than free medical treatment in Mexico. When Suzy Ticket Agent asked if I felt ill, do you think I would answer yes?
Okay maybe that scenario never happens, but if people go out all the time sick, do you think they are going to cancel their "vacation" to stay home. Doubt it.
BTW Napalitano gets on my last nerve. And someone please start picking out her clothes. Because A SKY BLUE OUTFIT DOES NOT MATCH A TURQUOISE STONE NECKLACE. EVER.
