Thanks for the link. I am one of those who is not freaking out, but would like to keep any eye on things, to make MY decisions as what to do. I knew when looking at the national maps reported last week with none in Nm that it was one of those "yea right" kind of things. As messed up as this state is in all things government, it would not surprise me to find that in reality NM has one of the highest outbreak numbers in the nation. I just hope that this thing settles out more before our tourist season starts in earnest.

we are!

Just my (lack of) luck.
I'm heading down to Carlsbad for a service call, and my wife calls me. Seems the village of Carlsbad has shut down the schools because of swine flu. 
I stopped off in Roswell, picked up some Airborne, hand sanitizer and some Lysol. Nuked the hotel room with the lysol, dropped a couple of Airbornes in a Diet Coke (ooooooooooh da fizz). We'll see in 7 days.
If I stop posting, you guys know what happened.

Tourist, terorist, yea I can see the confusion I think I would worry less about the terrorist driving through, as I expect they would at least attempt to drive halfway sane to keep from drawing attention to themselves. Now the Texans up here, well they own the road, and drive accordingly. I don't think the early settlers in this area envisioned 50 foot RV's pulling Suburbans when they laid out the roads.............

Craig Texicans think that they own the fuggin' road. I've been in several run-ins with the 'douches', and always end up laughing. Company Car. Let them fugg up, and laugh at them while the officer is writing the ticket.
Last summer, heading up to Red River, a Texican dinged my 13 year old Dodge truck.  The NMSP officer was a local, and treated the 'foreigner' with justice. I needed a new front end. , end of story.

Looks like a flu more cases in the bootheel.
Yippy, that cuts both ways. One of the family members who own the ranch we frequent was rear-ended in Taos Canyon, when he slowed for a dog in the road. He has IN plates, and was hit from behind. He got ticketed. This state is just plain goofy. The Texans up here even own the roads when not driving. Just watch them crossing the roads around the Plaza Turn here in town. Crossing against lights, crossing diagonal, basically crossing their fat butts anywhere they have a mind to............. Craig |

Craig WTF?!?! He got rear-ended, and got a ticket Shoulda been the other way around. I got rear-ended here in Albq, and the tail-gater got the ticket, and his insurance had to pay to fix my company car. Did your family member contest it?

Yipy,
No contest to the ticket. He was in school at the time, I forget which state, but too far away to come back and fight it. Don't know about your neck of the woods, but around here judges do not have to have ANY legal back-ground to be elected. They usually do not, and have to go to special schools to learn enough "law" to run some semblance of a third world courtroom. Fri, Looks like the virus has figured out a way to use the Interstate Highway system here in NM. That is intelligent adaptation, as we do not have intra-state air service Actually, as I suspected, I am sure that the fact that we had no cases early was due in some part to the delay in reporting and testing for our state. I think the CDC has to do the testing. I can guess the conversation of the health care facility in the southern part of the state went something like this:
We need to get these samples to the CDC. Well, there is a Greyhound Bus that is headed to Minnesota, that is scheduled to end up in Atlanta next week. The price is good, OK, let's put the samples on the bus......... Craig |

Fri,
From my understanding, only the CDC can confirm cases. At least this is what I read early on. If this is indeed the case, then I do not find anything in the graphics odd. Would I trust anything reported from Mexico. Not a chance. My take on the maps is that the data is likley supect as to total numbers, and dated at best. I view the maps as a minimum situation, and the real numbers, who the heck knows. Craig |
