Pandemicville

I've been a little paranoid about earthquakes and flu pandemics ever since I began writing about them. I even went so far as to begin stockpiling a little food in case we're cut off. I know, I'm old, and I scare easily.
But with the Mexican swine thing hitting the news plus the continuing bird flu deaths in exotic locales, it suddenly occurred to me this sunny Sunday morning — what if we got, not pandemics at first, but two epidemics at once? Better ask DemfromCT over at dKos about this, I'm thinking. He's a health professional on the flu beat.
BTW, don't buy the border thing when it comes up. We're a plane ride away now, which is how our state got its first West Nile death a few years back.
