4 peeps have died from this s*** in Victoria already... :smile20:

No chit?! I knew it was goin around bad, been that way for a few weeks now. Hadn't heard of any deaths from it though, not around here anyway. Greg said they have had some deaths from it up there in his area.

Bad stuff man, ya'll get better. $100 bux a day huh, not bad. Is the stuff helping or too soon to tell yet.

Sandy is getting paid $100.00 a day for being sick?
What a deal.  Why didn't you sign up?

It was reported on the news yesterday that some areas do not keep records of flu deaths or related incidents and why some areas are reporting fewer deaths or none at all.
Tarrant county is one that apparently doesn't report deaths.  Dallas county does though.

The Texas legislators under Perry changed the law in 2009.  They did have to report prior to that.
It makes you wonder why.
It wasn't to keep citizens informed, that's for sure.

Good question! I wanted immediate relief...and have insurance. Sandy does not. Spousal insurance where I work is 170 dollars a week. She was recently laid off.
Plus the fact that 1 in so many "test rats" gets placebos...... :smile15:

If you're home sick, don't go out and mess with the boat.

There are two reasons in particular.  One is related to contaminating the boat and
after it warms up, you'll be out working on it and get re-infected or possibly
infect someone else who works on the boat.

Second reason is that viruses are very corrosive and will eat into the paint and
anything polished that you touch.
