Well, what would YOU call someone who thinks everything has to do with "democrats vs. republican"? I call them people who can't think for themselves...so instead they take on the opinions of their party.

Idiot = someone who can't decide what their own opinion of each issue is (a.k.a. sheeple). Ask PressCoverage...he always uses the "sheeple" term.

Unlike many here, I KNOW I'm just another bozo on the bus...just like you buddy! I do my best, but it often isn't that good. Sometimes I get lucky and have a great day...despite myself.

See ya on the bus maybeitstrue!

Show me where I said this or what lead you to believe this? or is this just your observation?

Since when could I not make my mind up for myself? I've stated many times, I'm nor left nor right, so I don't know where your getting this stuff from but plz don't make stuff up.

I'm no boozo on a bus, if you are.....good for you! glad you can admit it, its the first step to recovery lol

"Another bozo on the bus" is just a humorous way of saying no here is special. I'm not and your not, even if someone "THINKS" they're special, they're not. I actually love that fact of life. So in that respect, hop on the bus man from Boise!

Since you say you're not right or left, then it sounds you're more like me politically than you think you are. So you must agree with my comment that people who take on the opinions of their political party are idiots.

Yes or no?

If not, explain how there's a chance their not idiots.

The other problem/scary part of this one is that it is affecting the younger healthier patients more so than other strains. You're hearing about the children/teenagers who are dying from H1N1 rather than the elderly infirmed who are usually most affected. Granted it is not at present a large number but it is more than the typically isolated case. Schools in my area are having 30-40% absentee rates from the flu.
I hadn't heard about the BMI correlation but I have read that the morbity and mortality rate is higher as would be expected in those with underlying medical problems and a weakened resistance.
