Flu

One of the children appears to have the flu. I say "appears to" because although the drs say she may well have it, she has not been tested for it. Keep that in mind when you read articles like this in the LA Times, suggesting there is no flu epidemic in this state.

An intelligent Christmas

I would like to remember you that for Christmas make an intelligent present is mandatory.

I would like to remember you that your company may grow up if you promote it doing something good for all.

By the way instead of making silly presents or nothing at all, you can help people spend only few money buying presents in good ethical products made by people of poor countries.

By the way instead of giving a diamond to your wife you can give a surgical operation to a child that absolutely needs it, or a year of scholastic education to a whole children class in India or Africa.

I give you one of the many possible chances that I like, whith no intermediates and wastes: just go to the site of The Shantidhara Social Servcice Society, (click here
http://www.shantidhara.org/) and let you give a school to thousands children with a small donation;

they are used to do everything with only few money.

Here many other ways to start immediately and be useful to everyone: http://www.liberaassociazioneilpopolo.it/inglese/attivazioneimmediata.html

I know problably you know and do these things, but don't be afraid to talk about it with your friends!

So do your own act; because it's easy to talk to stop wars, but where you don't sow love, there is only hate that grows up.

Geepers, and all I was going to say was about how flu-like symptoms are so common anyhow, as are colds.

Actually, the season seemed to come early to the Bay Area... Instead of now, like it usually does.

Peaking early, and all.

The notice of the deaths probably has people sensitized since we had that SARS thing this last year, ya know?

I'm sure the LAT and other press have been asked by various officials to try and prevent a panic.

As well they should be -- as they started one in the first place. From what I can gleen, a *usual* year brings about 300 flu deaths per day. I am wondering why *this* year *some,* and only some, of those deaths are being reported...

Sources: CDC -- who *might* be spinning, and Dean Edell, who doesn't seem to go in for that sort of thing.

At any rate, wishes of a speedy recovery to your sweet child. Now, everybody -- go wash your hands! Obsessively. It's the best way to stop the spread.
