So I think most everyone has come to the conclusion that the Swine Flu Pandemic of ’09 was a bit premature, and based on information that was wrong.
I was with some folks last week that were looking for horror stories of people paniced in airport, and everyone wearing masks etc. After traveling through four different airports I did not have a single story to relay to them.
Today I actually saw someone wearing a mask in an airport!! I have a story now. Passing through O’Hare this morning during the peak travel period 7 – 8 AM there were four people wearing masks. Uh, only four and they were all international travelers except for one janitor that was sweeping the floor.
Of the few hundred people that I saw in O’Hare four were frightened enough of the piggy flu to hide their faces behind a surgical mask.
Another overhyped crisis that the American people have decided is not really a big deal.
