Ninja H1N1 Tactics – “High-Knee” Swine Fu
Posted by Dun Tzu on the May 1st, 2009
You will be as happy as a pig in mud to know up front what this post is NOT going to be… It will not have jokes about BMI or obesity. There will be no mention of police officers… no talk of bringing home the bacon. Even if swine flew, I would have nothing to say about government spending or the fat cats on Wall Street. You can wait until the mad cows come home and there will be no mention of mast cells with heparin… and certainly no talk of an Aporkalypse.
So, here’s my public service announcement: Don’t panic… although the pig is out of the bag, so to speak, have you ever stopped to wonder what would happen if we did a news media play-by-play of the spread of any normal flu season? I bet it would be pretty scary. A play-by-play in sports is exciting… in infectious disease news it’s frightening.
Anyway, I really hesitated to post this swine flu comic in case it does become worse than most of us in healthcare think it will be. The pig had my tongue, but here it goes. I’ve chosen to balance this comic with some serious resources. See the links below the comic. And for crying out loud… Wash your hooves.
Other fun swine flu humor:
- Decorated Mexican Flu Masks
- CONTEST: Name the Swine Flu Cake, Win This Chocolate Pig!
- You’ve Killed Us All – this one cracks me up
- Swine Flu Humor Gifts
……….
On a serious note… here are some reliable H1N1 (formerly “swine flu”) resources:
- CDC Clinician Guidance for Patients
- CDC General Info on H1N1 or Swine Flu
- CDC Reports and Publications
- WHO Influenza A H1N1 Resources
