The Flu

Folks, get your flu shots.

People are starting to die in Texas right now from H1N1 swine flu. Numbers are not that large yet, but they are high for this early in the flu season.

There are 5 people in Seton Medical Center Austin on the heart lung machine because of the flu. They didn't get their flu shots.

How are your loved ones going to feel if you die from the flu? How are you going to feel if one of your loved ones died because you didn't get a flu shot and gave them your flu?

I lost a dear friend who wouldn't get his shot.

Get your flu shots. It's cheap. It's not too late.

BTW, the pneumonia shot is cheap and you only need a few of them during your whole life. Pneumonia's a really bad thing, even if you survive.
