Mino Vs. H1N1

Mino vs 1The H1N1, also affectionately called “hiny,”has been a global pain-in-the-ass this year.   Many of the schools here in Washington State were shut down for days  during the scare.  My workplace was also hit.  Many patients were infected and isolated, while a colleague ended up in the ICU. At our church.  drinking wine, shaking hands, and using holy water are now being discouraged. 

Although the symptoms can be more severe, Influenza A (H1N1) behaves much like the common seasonal influenza.  Children, the elderly, and people with existing illnesses or weakend immune system are at higher risk.  For information about the swine flu, visit the CDC website

Mr. Nonsense can often be seen in the Tacoma-Seattle area carrying a camcorder, accompanied by his two sons and his personal chauffeur, his wife. He uses his Tondo upbringing to nurture his children and to survive in a mental institution, where he currently works. He enjoys basketball, cooking, singing, cartooning, producing short movies, and making his own furniture out of junked wood because he's so cheap. He is a self-proclaimed "Man of the House,"...when his wife is not home.
