I was in New York City yesterday and just barely caught the news while waiting for an appointment.   Mayor Bloomberg was on talking about 18 schools that are closed as fears of Swine Flu spread.  Just Google Swine Flu and you cannot deny the global panic.  Rudy’s Bar & Grill on Ninth Avenue has a more sarcastic, humorous point of view and they dressed up their mascot to express their opinion on the subject. I certainly don’t mean to minimize the serious nature of the topic. Scary stuff with one confirmed death in New York, 8 more confirmed cases in the city and a probable 4 more on Rikers Island.  I believe that just this morning 13 more schools have been ordered closed to bring the total to 26.  Wash your hands people.
