Monday: I mentioned it in class but the story of Monday was the lack of doctors shaping up to be a large problem. What worried me was if the outbreak of Swine Flu gets worse, what will happen to all the patients who are infected and in need of medical care? Will there be enough doctors to get to everyone in a timely manor? Or is this lack of doctors really going to become an issue if more and more people get sick.
Tuesday: To followup on Monday's story, today there was a story in the paper about how Obama claims that the United States is ready for a large outbreak and will be able to handle it efficiently. I've never lived through something like this and I wonder if that is Obama's way of trying to calm the panic that many people are now facing, or if he actually believes that the United States won't be hit as badly as Mexico has.
Wednesday: Today I decided to write about Arlene Specter joining the Democratic party. With his political hop this gives the Democrats the ability to break filibusters with 60 required votes. I feel like this is big news because it proves that just because you're a republican, doesn't mean you have to remain one forever if your views change and the same goes for a democrat.
Thursday: Finishing out the week is more on Swine flu. The World Health Organization raised it's alert to the second from highest, warning that a pandemic was imminent. It's scary to think of what may happen and what changes we may have to make if it becomes a pandemic, I have not resorted to panic, but I am very worried of what may happen if it gets worse.
