I received an unusual text message this morning from the Portuguese Government.

Swine Flu Text Message

Roughly translated it says;

“Autumn officially begins today, and thus Swine Flu will probably return, and most of you will die. If you begin to feel unwell, please file your tax return immediately. “

No, actually it says;

“With symptoms of flu, please stay in your house and telephone 808242424 or contact your doctor. Strengthen your hygiene measures. Avoid infecting others. Consult www.dgs.pt”.

The tax return part probably comes later.

“Confusion is always the most honest response.”

- Marty Indik.

You know, despite usually being the type to rubbish concepts that, superficially at least, sound as silly as this one does;

‘Throwing “swine flu parties” in an attempt to get immunity against the virus while it is a fairly mild form is not a good idea, doctors say. Reports have emerged of people intentionally mixing with friends who have flu.’

I’m willing to bet that, as risky as it sounds, going out and deliberately ‘catching’ this flu at at this point in the development of the virus is probably a good idea.

Personally, I’m willing to take the risk. How about you?
