Swine Flu

Well the good old U.S. has declared the 'Swine Flu' an emergency and a pandemic! That's right we now have 20 confirmed cases in the country already!! YES .. I said 20 !!!!!!

Let's see ... 300 million people live in the United States, and 20 have the flu. Hmmmm .. can you say 'SCARE TACTICS???' Does this strike anyone else as odd? Has any of you sat down and done the math? NO? OK .. I'll do it for you. That would be 0.000000066 of the population now has the swine flu!! HOLY CRAP!! No wonder why we declared an emergency!! If you multiplied the number of people currently with the swine flu by a mere 10 million, you'd have just over 1/2 of ONE PERCENT of the population infected!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some 'Back to Reality' figures for you:

- The Black Plague of the 1300's killed millions of people .. and I'm pretty sure their health care wasn't quite as advanced as ours now.

- The Spanish Flu in 1918 killed over 50 millions people!!

- Asian Flu - killed 70,000 US citizens

- The Hong Kong flu of 1968 killed 34,000 people.

I guess it's better to be safe than sorry, but it does seem a bit premature and a lot like the familiar scare tactics that is used to keep us in fear and under control. And if you want to look on the bright side, the earth population could use a little chopping away ... oh maybe a billion or so. That would solve the environmental problems too.

I got it! Let's develop the 'Religious Flu'! That would be great! All the people who are religious in the world suddenly gets massive cramping which brings them to their knees (something they're familiar with anyway), along with hearing voices in their head, and seeing things that aren't really there! There's no known cure except death, in which case they get to go meet "whoever" in the sky like they wanted to anyway!

Now if we could get a virus like that circulating around the planet, that would be a day of true celebration!! Amen.

Todays RBV: 1 Corinthians 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.


And we're worried about the swine flu spreading! God wiped out 23,000 people in ONE DAY!!
