The newest twist in the so called Swine-Flu epidemic is farmers wanting to keep humans away from their pigs! Yes, you read it right. Farmers from all over want to keep the pig population clean of the Swine Flu virus, and that means keeping their pigs away from those nasty flu carrying humans.

Hog Farmer Ron Suther of Kansas City has this to say, “If a person is sick, we don’t want you coming anywhere on the farm,” after all the reasoning is clear, it’s humans that are mostly infected and affected by the swine flu, not pigs. At least not yet. Ron Suther is banning humans from his property, and the ones that need to be there, have to detail their travels and any family sickness.

He said that the biggest concern is that your herd could somehow contract this illness from humans. There are no pig anti virals, if the pig population gets the flu, the farmer may have a catastrophe on their hands. Well, in a sense they already do. With the flu being called the swine flu, it devasted the pork industry already. Countries all over the world have banned intake of pork, especially from countries, and states that have had any human connection to the virus.

Unfortunately, Egypt took the stance to eradicate all pigs in the country. This was done with no knowledge of a single swine flu infection at all in the country. Even before this recent problem, pork producers were having a hard time because of higher grain prices and lower demand.

The World Health Organization now calls the flu, the H1N1 solely, and wants everyone else to follow suit and avoid calling it the swine flu. I think the damage has been done in that department however. The best that can happen is for people to realize that there is NO DANGER OF EATING PORK at all. In fact, right now is the time to buy pork, as prices are really low all around.

Take these flu precautions

The flu seems to be lessening it vigor, but it is still good to take precautions:

1). Stay home as much as possible

2). Stay out of crowds

3). If you are sick stay home

4). Wash your hand very frequently when out of the house

5). Avoid people that are coughing and sneezing

6). If you go to the hospital make sure you are sick, and call ahead, so they can protect others.

7). Usually this flu will come with a fever over 100.5

8). When going into a building that has a left and right door to walk thru, take the left door.

9). Grab the bottom of a large handled door rather than the top, where most people grab it.

The World Health Organization (WHO) Thursday decided to heed the advice of many, many people, including us here at Cheap Texas Electric Rates.  They decided to change the name of the so called “Swine FLu” virus. They decided to call it by it’s real name. H1N1 A Virus. My very last blog called for this change. Thank you for listening, but it falls short. Let me explain.

GENEVA: WHO spokesman Dick Thompson said that the agriculture industry and the U.N. food agency had expressed concerns that the term “swine flu” was misleading consumers and needlessly causing countries to ban pork products and order the slaughter of pigs.

Well, I don’t think they have fixed the problem. You see, the problem is that humans, all over the world think this virus is a “swine flu” virus, when it is clearly mostly not. If the Virus were 8 parts — say, 1 part would be bird flu, 2 parts would be swine flu and 5 parts would be regular old human virus.

No normal humans, (i.e. non clinical people) will call it the H1N1 A Virus, so this great name change, will in fact mean NOTHING. Maybe this name change was decided by a committee, because it is well known –  nothing good comes out of a committee. Just bad plans — because they don’t focus on just the main problem. They have lots of problems to solve, like not wanting to call it the Mexican Flu, which is probably the only possibility to save the slaughter of pigs.

So, they will be accurate, and not really rename it, but call it by it’s clinical name. And in the end, accomplish nothing. I have the feeling that the FLU is not a killer, and the news organizations are just tired of talking about President Obama, and want a change. But, News is worthless unless you get viewers, and believe me, they know how to turn the screws on fear, which they have been doing, and now we have a lot of over reactions that will cost us money in lowered business, etc.

Think about it, every flu season people are asked to get flu shots. Why? Because the weak, the very young and the very old aren’t strong enough for the flu. They end up with pneumonia, and sometimes die. The statistics for this flu are probably very similar to any other flu that comes out in a season. So, I think we are over reacting. As Dr. Dean Edell said earlier this week on the radio …”Unless something has happened that I don’t know about, I wouldn’t worry about this flu…you probably have a much higher risk of death driving to El Paso than simply being there.”

We saved a Nice Lady up to 28%

This weeks show was great with Marey really giving it to me hard, in the way of jokes , put-downs and  her other zaniness. We covered many ideas including: We talked about…

A lady that was paying 18 cents per KwH, we were able to get her 12.9 per KwH. She was thrilled. Later Reliant Energy sent her a letter asking her to stay. They offered her 15.7 cents per KwH. So they wanted to save her 2.3 cents a KwH, while are saving her over 5 cents a KwH!

I asked her if she switched, and she just laffed. I mean hard and out-loud. She said, “Heavens no!, you guys have saved me so much compared to Reliant Energy, I can’t believe it really. Good work!”.

5.1 /18= 28.33 % Savings  Let us see if we can get you similar savings. This lady’s last bill was $900 She would save, with a similar bill the following month, about $254.

We are really very glad to help people save money in these very trying times.
