Medical Experimentation

Filed under: Reflections - Ric @ 9:10 am

Recently, the government has been conduction computer simulations about what would happen during an outbreak of some pandemic flu bug. Heck I even posted about it over on Now Public. Well the government could have kept their research money on that one.

…avoid places frequented by the near, or recently sick…

You see, I’ve been conducting a little pandemic experiment of my own, and the results are in - I’m a goner. I’ve been home the majority of the week with some kind of weird bug. Joints ache, head aches, throatis sore, and the actions of the stomach and connected large and small intestine cannot be discussed in polite company. I picked it up at the office (tip #1 avoid places frequented by the near, or recently sick). One of my guys was out the previous week, but in a fit of company loyalty he returned to the office, still coughing, still a carrier (tip #2 if you are one of the near or recently sick - stay home, you’re not impressing anyone). I was going to go to work too, but I was informed by my better half that I wasn’t going to go, and my frail disease ridden body agreed with her (tip #3 Listen to your spouse, and fluffy blue slippers with yellow duckies on them can be manly when you feel sick).
