A school can operate without its students... doesn't do a whole lotta good if you have no one to teach, but it can operate.... what if your business had 30-50% out... or the business down the road... or the government...? |
What if they're only out because they're especially scared of the swine flu by name? "OMG I have the coodies!! I have ta hide, and it's too bad I didn't get one of my cooty shots!!!" I mean, really, so few people have actually died from this thin and it's a national emergency? I don't get it.
I think a better explanation is: We ordered 250 million doses of this shit and we better use it!
