So here it is. I suppose I should be happy that I was right, but somehow it's not all that comforting. And if I could take back the blog for the sake of the world's health I'd probably do it.
What I'm referring to, of course, is tonight's press conference that was held at the white house. If you've been living under a rock and missed this, I've got some news for you. It ain't good. Apparently the the flu has broken loose and is rapidly spreading across the country and presumably around the world. They claim there is a vaccine, but they just can't produce it fast enough. Although, if you ask me, it sounds like crowd control "don't panic" statement. I wouldn't expect seeing a vaccine anytime soon.
Now if this doesn't sound bad enough, it gets worse. There have been about half dozen reports that patients have "after an apparent heart stoppage revived consciousness with violent outbreaks and irrational behaviour." Perhaps I've been watching too many horror films, but it sounds to me like people are coming back from the dead, and they are really pissed off about something.
In the final moments of the address the surgeon general has encouraged us to stay in doors when possible and take all precautions to stay as healthy as possible. And most important to report and isolate incidents of the flu.
Now I don't really think this is the end, mostly because I don't think I can really conceive of such a thing, but it certainly doesn't look good. And if officials have decided to tell us about it, you know they've been dealing with it secretly for months now and to no avail. If it all didn't seem so unrealistic, I might even be a little scared of the whole.
At least there's one good thing that's coming out of all this. I've finally got something to write about.
