Wednesday’s Showgasm.
They think “swine flu” should be refered to as the “H1-N1 Virus”. I thought Pig flu was going to win.. too bad. So… please reume panic accordingly… OMG!!! H1-N1!!!! Everybody picnic!!!! wait..
On today’s MasonShow, pigs flew!
What? I can’t believe I missed THAT… Oh! Pig flu?! Sorry, I was half listening… (Note to self; Schedule marketing meeting with Pizza Hut, RE: Pandemic Pan-Pizza Deal! One of the most searched topics online. Bacon Lovers? Also, get dictionary.. look up “pandemic”.)
Unfortunatly, Heidi & Spencer are taking precautions to avoid the sickness while on honeymoon in Mexico. Darn.
The number has to be 100+ cases of the new strain of influenza in America. First confirmed American death reported, a 23 month old child. The W.H.O. (World Health Organization) has raised the threat level to 5! ..which makes me wonder what the threat level scale looks like.. 1 to 10? 1 to 50? They said the threat of a pandemic is immenent.
It's all this kid's fault!
This is Edgar Hernandez, of Veracruz. He is “patient zero”; the first documented case of swine flu… sorry, H1-N1. He lives in La Gloria, a village of 3000 people, down a dusty road, in a small mountian village.. SURROUNDED BY PIG FARMS! BINGO! Got him. Lab tests cleared other people in the April 2nd “outbrak”, but only Edgar tested positive for the new strain of flu virus. He’s fine, thankfully, but several others are not, and fear is driving people in Mexico City to the hospitals to get checked out, only to be turned away by armed guards. Craziness. The government closed colleges, asked resteraunts to close their dining rooms, postponed sporting events, and even cancelled church! Wow.. Mind you, the average flu virus kills WAY more people than this has, every year. The fear is that it’s a new strain of virus, that nobody has had before, so there is no pre-vaccination, and no prior immunity. Mortality rate may be higher than other influenza viruses. (That from a Doc at Emory University School of Medicine in Georgia.)
They’ve reported a shortage of sugical masks in Mexico, unforunatly, after Heidi & Spencer got theirs, but I’ve seen CNN and others with reporters ON THE STREETS in Mexico City, with NO MASKS! That’s worse than sending them into the middle of a hurricane. Terrible. (Note to self, again: move all stock money into sugical masks.)
1976 Swine Flu Pandemic Scare.
Apparently, they had this same scare back in ‘76. Check this out..
Rihanna & Chris Brown back in court.
Well, I should say their lawyers were back in court today. Rihanna’s borrowed jewels are being released from the LAPD evidence locker, and Chris Brown’s lawyer is trying to get the case dismissed because of the leak of Rihanna’s photo from the incident.
Idol Idle Thoughts.
Matt goes home tonight. Atleast I hope. I don’t think I want to have to wait an hour to find that out, so I’m going to DVR it, and then FFWD thru most of it. Gonna go have dinner-breakfast (Dinkfast). I will edit this later, if need be. I’m doubting, however, that need will actually be. I dunno who’s performing the stereotypical “theme montage” of Rat Pack Standards.. Maybe they can get Jamie Foxx, T-Pain & the Vocoder computer to perform their hit “Blame It”. Whatevs.. Time for breakfast.
I say good day.
–Mason
