This is a bit frightening, our state may have their first cases now.......waiting on confirmation.

Attn: Mods - clean - up on Aisle Recipes !!! I tried posting a scan of a recipe for NJ Sons Mom and it's huge, tried again and now it's illegible. If you could delete both when I have a break from work later I'll try to do a snag-it of it and post that instead. Thank you !!

back to work, after staying up most of last night working I'm bent and determined to finish this sub-project so I can get some sleep again 

Hope all is well monkeys ! Tomorrow is hump day

My sis was concerned about DH & I because we'd been to Cancun...that was beginning of March.  At that time it was just the travel warning about drug cartels...we're fine. 

Thanks for the recipe.  I see Klaas took care of the fixes for you.  I'm all for opening a can when it comes to DH's tomato soup, but am willing to give the recipe a shot.   

At times today, the site didn't seem to be responding well.  I would attempt to move to another thread and it wouldn't go.  I just think it's traffic/volume here at certain times of the day.

The hopeful news seems to be that even though some American victims of this flu have had to be hospitalized, nobody's died from it... yet. And yet, a lot of people in Mexico have died from it. I wonder what the difference is. I know some Mexicans, at least the Mayans from the Yucatan area, have no resistance to measles and perhaps, other diseases that we've built up resistance to.

About 15 years ago, some Mexican friends (who are my very real family in every way that family matters) warned me not to come visit them at their apartment building where hundreds of Mexicans from their area of the Yucatan lived because they had some terrible epidemic of disease moving like wildfire through the people there and at least two elderly people had died and several children were dangerously ill. They didn't know what the disease was but they suspected flu since "grippe" (Spanish for flu) is kind of a catch-all phrase for whatever ails you that you can't define.

I went into the building, anyway, because I wanted to know what was going on and it was measles. I explained even if a measles-sufferer sneezed or coughed all over me (yuck), I couldn't catch that form of measles because I'd already had it.

I went to the Health Department and told them old people were in big trouble in that building and it seemed nobody there had ever had measles before. They said they knew about it but the people in the building would not open their doors because at least half of them were illegal and all of them did not trust any government agency. Even the legal green card holders had illegal wives and children to protect.

The problem to be solved was to treat the sufferers of measles and to prevent the disease from spreading although most American adults have either had measles or have been inoculated as have most American schoolchildren. The main danger was to other Mexicans and these folks just needed to know what the disease was and how to treat it.

So I was able to get past a lot of those locked front doors and from there word spread that they could go to the Health Dept. directly for treatment and even give fake names if they were afraid and none of their information would be shared with any other agency without their consent.

It was kind of mean but one way I was able to persuade the adult males to get their families some help was to tell them that measles would not only make them sterile but they also wouldn't be able to get it up at all. I'm not even sure that's true but I vaguely recall from my high school Health Class that it was a terrible, terrible thing for adult males to catch childhood diseases.

Anyway, I am curious as to why this flu is so devastating elsewhere in the world and so far, Americans seem to be physically stronger.

JSM That was so cute!! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you greeneyes. I can't take credit. My friend at work did it and showed it to me. I asked her how someone got my Josef on the video. I didn't realise she did it herself.
