I was going to mention the hype over West Nile, too, but I realized it's not transmitted human-to-human...though I'm not sure if that really makes a difference. I guess they see this as something that is happening in more than one area, not just isolated spots like you usually see with West Nile, and so it has them concerned.

Concern is good, that means you are paying attention and will take the necessary precautions. True?

Me? I'm not going around wearing a face mask, if that's what you're asking. But yes, I constantly wash my hands all the time. I have OCD so it's second nature to me anyway...although I'm not as germaphobic as I used to be.

Not to mention this is a perfect opportunity to preach and witness to others. Share your faith, hearts will be reaching and it will be a travesty to allow this opportunity to escape us.

This is an interesting take on a serious global problem. Wasn't it the new Whitehouse Chief of Staff, Raum Emmanuel, who said "Why let a good crisis go to waste?"

Hmmm.... no comment.
