    Re: Temptation... Here we come!

    I was thinking that most probably died in autoerotic asphyxiation situations gone bad but I had to google to see if there was any other big killer and ran across this story..

    Nah doubt that it has anything to do with the healthcare. We are at the end of canadian season in mexico. Most people stay here for spring and summer. Much better to go when it's -30 here. We have on 4 cases in Alberta and they were all there together. Public safety is big here.

    I think it's just the British goverment being little big brother again and trying to protect thier own, god knows what from tho. As of today there are only 6 comfirmed cases in the UK with a 100 or so being tested. We're off to Egypt monday due to our cancellation but we've rebooked TTR for Sept 1st so we'll be back xxx

    Looking over the events of the past few weeks it seems like the biggest culprit in this entire mess is misinformation. A few people not qualified to make statements and who only know the partial truth make assumptions and then pass it on as fact.

    As the above statement implies, because Canada and the UK have national health insurance, the governments of those countries have decided to cancel trips.

    Actually the governments in both countries never cancelled trips and national health care had nothing to do with it. The carriers and trip companies were the ones that cancelled the trips. The government advised that non-essential trips should be reconsidered, but never did they say "Do not go". The companies we work for have been as guilty as the media, if you go, then see a Doctor before you come back to work, etc.,.

    A week later now, this virus appears to be winding down and the terror associated with it, is making it's way to the back pages of the news.

    All of a sudden the US is postponing and cancelling flights, the US governments stance all along has been the same as Canada and the UK, all non-essential travel to Mexico should be reconsidered.

    National Health Care is not a bad thing, and I cannot comprehend how it is held in such disdain. Sure it affects the amount of taxes I pay, and there is some abuse of the system, but to say that because of National Health Care, the government is playing big brother is a load if mis-informed HOOEY!!!!

    I told everyone I work with that if the swine flu was really that bad, I was still headed to Mexico.. I told them I would BeDazzle the hell out of some paper medical masks & gloves, to color coordinate w/my bikini bottoms :)

    I haven't been worried this whole time - only when they mentioned closing US/Mexico border.
