This is a first blog entry. I have not decided yet on a format of the blog-posts and what will I cover in them. There are so many topics to talk about, so much information to go through.
First topic of today is "national emergency" declared by President Obama.
"The declaration will help with flexibility in case hospitals see a greater influx of flu cases in coming months" and "This is not a reaction to any new developments; it's a proactive step, a useful tool going forward..." (USA Today). An on-line tool by Microsoft for self assessment if one has flu/H1N1 symptoms is here https://h1n1.cloudapp.net/fluquiz.aspx.
Though, beware of trusting self-assesment tools or read too much medical information or you will end up as narrator of "Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K. Jerome
"It is a most extraordinary thing, but I never read a patent medicine advertisement without being impelled to the conclusion that I am suffering from the particular disease therein dealt with in its most violent form. The diagnosis seems in every case to correspond exactly with all the sensations that I have ever felt" http://bit.ly/2IijpG
Will keep track of "pandemic" and post my thoughts on that.
