I’m flying to NYC on Friday. I’m hoping they don’t start stunting US travel as well. YIKES.

I am heading to a conference in Chicago, and I normally take Ariborne and bring anti-bacterial lotion when I fly, and I will do the same now. I did have someone else who is attending the conference contact me by email and ask if I wasn't nervous, I said no! Andis last blog post..Wordless Wednesday #10

Hi, did you hear now that Egypt is planning on slaughtering all their pigs too!! I mean, they’re not even on the same continent. Or maybe they are riding the coattails of tragedy to get tourism up. Who knows?
As scary as it is, I think it might be another method for pharmaceutical companies to monetize. They seem to live for these epidemics!

It’s all overreaction. The numbers just don’t support the fears. But human beings tend to overestimate the threat of uncommon experiences.
