    Good information, thanks for sharing!

  2. If people weren’t so afraid of death and instead just lived healthy and happy lives instead of letting themselves being worked up into a state of paranoia, it would be okay. People are always dying from flu. We can’t stop it. It’s natural for the stronger immune systems to survive while the weaker ones get sick and even die. However, some would say this kind of thinking is too close to eugenics. Horses for courses.

    Mark,
    Thanks for following up. I usually post about timeless subjects. But I think sometimes is good to post about timely subjects.

    Gordie,
    To live a healthy and happy life: It is more easier saying it than getting it. But you are right. We should work on this, and our responsibility as bloggers is to share and provide tools to reach that target.
