I always told people that bacon was a great thing. I mean, yea, I switched to Turkey bacon because I'm watching my girlish figure....and sure the whole swine flu is going on but c'mon. If you have a hangover is it not worth the risk?

Let me guess, you don't believe me? Fine! Well here's some proof for you. Give that pork skin a try and see if you succumb to the horrible "Porcelain Prayer"

Thanks Bru!

Worst Case Scenario

First Swine Flu Death in US

In a company email I received today so you know it's serious:

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that the swine flu virus is contagious and can be spread from human to human. As of 12:00 pm today, there have been 40 reported cases of swine flu in the US (no deaths) and more than 1,300 in Mexico (with 147 swine flu-related deaths).

Symptoms

Symptoms of swine flu in humans are similar to the symptoms of the seasonal flu virus and may include:

-fever (greater than 100°F)
-sore throat
-cough
-stuffy nose
-chills
-headache and body aches
-fatigue

Reduce Your Chances of Getting Sick

Here are a few precautions that you can take to stay healthy:
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and dispose of it in the trash after use. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands.
Wash your hands often with soap and water often, especially after you cough or sneeze—alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. Use waterless alcohol-based hand gels (containing at least 60 percent alcohol) when soap is not available and hands are not visibly dirty. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth—germs spread easily that way.
Try to avoid close contact with those infected (or possibly infected) with flu-type symptoms. Influenza is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person through coughing or sneezing by infected people
Consider deferring travel to Mexico; the CDC recently recommended that persons defer all non-essential travel to Mexico

Exposed? Stay at Home [LOL!! NOT GO TO THE ER? LOL!!!]

If you believe you have been exposed or have contracted the flu, you should stay home from work and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. Consult your personal health care professional and notify your manager or Frontline Leader if you become ill. "

What some folks are saying:

"♫ The swine flu outbreak coincided with President Barack Obama’s trip to Mexico City on April 16. Obama was received at the anthropology museum in Mexico City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archaeologist who died a week later from symptoms similar to flu …."
