Love In The Time Of Swine Flu

Fear peddlers try to sell the big lie. South America is on fire with Swine Flu fear. But is is just an epidemic of the mind? On planes, in shops, in airports and most public places you will see the infamous masks.

On the plane I met a man from Doctor’s Without Borders. He was a surgeon. Neither him nor any of his people were wearing masks. I asked him why he wasn’t afraid.

His answers were simple:
1. The disease in it’s current form is no worse than the regular flu. The symptoms show this clearly. More people die from the regular flu that has been around for ages.
2. The masks that you see people wearing leak. In surgery doctors change masks every 30 minutes during surgery to prevent leakage. They are wholly ineffective when worn for hours on end.
3. The fear of the disease is worse than the disease itself.

As for me, I am actually washing my hands less, touching the dirt more and breathing deeply. Small amounts of poison will help build resistance my immune system.

Who created this disease ? Who is profiting from it? Is it a distraction from something else? If in fact it is a disease of the mind, have we all already got it?
