How short are people's memories when they're worried?
How did we go from calling it "rabies" to "swine flu," which makes even less sense than "rabies?" While Gov. Ritter is talking about "utilizing all of the resources and expertise at our disposal" to fight the swine flu outbreak here, no one is even acknowledging that just days ago there was a riot at the Exempla hospital. Something tells me that someone suffering from some uber-flu is going to be able to fight over anti-virals... not that the media is claiming there was any violence at all. They won't even talk about the smoke that was coming out of the hospital.
Swine flu.
Yeah.
Sure.
It's almost like they're welcoming the swine flu outbreaks elsewhere, it gives them a name to put on whatever the hell is happening here. Not that calling it "swine flu" would explain the rumors of Exempla patients biting each other and the staff. I can see the worry in people's eyes on the street. But 9News? Denver Post? Why the hell aren't they saying anything about it? Crazy as this sounds, something bad is about to happen. Riots maybe, or evacuation, maybe even a quarantine. I guess I'm ready for just about everything except an evacuation; I don't know how they would cram the population of Denver county out through the interstates or highways.
