He thought it was not worth the bother -- he felt a dangerous flu virus would quickly develop resistance to Tamiflu. Said the main safeguard will probably be old-fashioned quarantine measures.Don Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-22429332363319519612009-04-24T18:32:00.000-07:002009-04-24T18:32:00.000-07:00The trick is to walk the line between buying crap ...The trick is to walk the line between buying crap (think cheap flashlights...a cheap one MAY work when you need it, a good one WILL work when you need it.) and spending too much. Since you are reading this and have a computer...do a lot of research on an item before you buy it. FerFAL is pretty good at this...and you do have to pay a little more for quality.Josephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-31103204214058240002009-04-24T16:08:00.000-07:002009-04-24T16:08:00.000-07:00I have an off topic comment here...
Hi Ferfal,
I...I have an off topic comment here...<br /><br />Hi Ferfal,<br /><br />I'm have a small dilemma and I'd like to get your view on this.<br /><br />Background first. I live in the suburbs and work in San Francisco. I take public transit (BART) to work.<br /><br />As you might already know, SF is full of homeless people and general weirdos.<br /><br />To help block out the train noise and other people talking on their mobile phone etc, I put on my ipod pretty much 100% of the time.<br /><br />I keep the volume pretty low so that I can still maintain situation awareness.<br /><br />So here is my delimma -- the pros of having my head phones on is that I can pretend to not hear the homeless and the weirdos on the street asking for<br />hand outs or asking me to buy their stuff -- they tend to keep their distance if you don't react to them. The cons is, of course, this makes me <I>appear</I> to have low/no situation awareness, which could make me a more attractive target to the bad guys.<br /><br />We're not at a point that I'd want to react violently to every street person I encounter (quite a few daily)<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-64831213012112147632009-04-24T10:40:00.000-07:002009-04-24T10:40:00.000-07:00I've got a generic fake asp and it is great.
