Pearls before Swine
By Pixel. Filed in non-sequitur |
I have a lot of family in old Mexico. They greet each other (and strangers!) with kisses on the cheek. They are very nice people.
Mexico warns no kissing as 81 dead in swine flu outbreak
Shit.
But most of my immediate family and friends: the people I grew up with… most of them live in the American Southwest.
Double shit.
At least I’m still healthy, right? I mean, at least I wasn’t shivering all of yesterday and didn’t throw up all my yummy meals. Right?
...
… oh, fuck.

p.s. I’m not really worried about myself. I feel much better today (fewer chills). But I’m sorta scared to death about my family and friends in Mexico.
*sigh*
81 out of a city of 20,000,000 isn’t good odds, but it’s still worse than you want it to be.
Update: They’re okay thus far. Everyone is home, not sick, and is trying not to leave unnecessarily.
