I'm apologizing in advance for this entry. But I have a theory, damn it, and I need to get it out SOMEWHERE.

Jose is from Jalisco, Mexico. To get all technical on y'alls, he is from a teeny tiny little town called El Bajio or El Pueblo de la Laguna, which is about 15 minutes away from a decent sized town called Lagos De Moreno.

In El Pueblo de la Laguna, there is a pig farm. (Ha, now you see where this is going??) Maybe "pig farm" isn't the right term, but its one of those barns filled to the brim with little piggies that they are getting big and fat to slaughter. This place REEKS. There is seriously a little swamp of pig poo behind this place. Flies are RAMPANT in this area. Its gross.

Jose's cousin and his wife went down to Mexico towards the end of March. His wife (along with others from the area) got REALLY REALLY sick. This lady complains that she felt like she couldn't breathe, and her whole body was in pain, etc etc. They never went to a doctor. She ended up taking some pills, and got over it after about 10 days.

Maybe these people are getting swine flu?? Maybe they've BEEN getting it and since they are either not seeking medical attention or if they are its not being documented no one knows about it? I mean, I know they claim that the first person infected with the flu was the small boy from Veracruz or wherever, but how do they know that for sure?

Hmmmm...

It makes you think, doesn't it????

It makes me think as a nurse that this swine flu is way blown out of proportion.
