On an NPR interview today, they make the point that the large hispanic population in the SW may be represent a problem to containing Swine flu due to a combination of their ties to Mexico, fear of the authorities, and lack of ability to pay for doctor visits.
Well, who has led such strong crack-downs that even the legal hispanics are afraid to show up at the Doctor? Who knew the immigration debate had public health implications?
And who knew that the healthcare reform debate had implications to us all in trying to contain a disease?
H1N1…? Looks like licenseplate speak for Hiney! LOL! From Swine Flu to Hiney Flu…Pppppfffftttt!

Maybe the 25% may get it eventually just out of self interest?
