[nabs-l] Swine flu outbreak and national convention

[Antonio Guimaraes]

Scary times for sure, but either the swine flue will be affecting millions 
by July, and we'll cancel convention, and think about survival, or it will 
have run it's course, as Pete Donahue said.

I was at convention general session in 2004, and a huge thunder stopped 
Maurer in his tracks. In 2005 London subways were attacked.

The bird flue epidemic was serious, and pointed to the fact that we are very 
vulnerable, and not "immune" to all malities.

If something is going to happen, it's going to happen, and the national 
office will react accordingly. For now, follow the news for the health 
threat this really is, but don't worry your blind little hearts out, please!
