Yesterday's media diet brought tidings of local case count (200+ in King County) and of 3 schools across the country in Queens with multiple cases and large numbers of people out sick.
Email from ferrener husband with no mention of swine flu matters on current journey.
RantWoman found herself thinking of SWINE FLU when a mumbling Mr. Meth was hacking at one of her bus stops and when a young woman at the pharmacy kept interrupting her cellphone whines about feeling terrible and buying over-the-counter treatments to cough and hack.
Squeamish volunteer at the Friendly Neighborhood Center for Extreme Computing motivated us to get hand sanitizer but is still staying away and sending me querulous email about above figures. This volunteer is needing to take a break for other reasons, but he is missed. RantWoman cannot evaluate whether he has personal health issues that make him feel a need to be especially cautious; RantWoman supposes it might be unseemly to comment on such anyway.
RantWoman also knows another good reason for this volunteer to take a break: the Friendly Neighborhood Center's fearless leader did something countless other authority figures have done to induce resentment among team members. RantWoman is completely unsurprised about the resentment and has not been able to do much directly to ameloriate it. RantWoman even ran out of time to email (or blog) further!
