At approximately 0800 on February 4, 2010 doctors will be taking a twenty-four year old woman of east Indian descent off life support. Her parents have arrived from Toronto, her brother from Calgary. This lovely young woman, one of our acquaintances, has no brain activity; her kidneys failed her, her lungs stopped functioning effectively, and then her heart stopped.
At this time they haven't told anyone what is responsible, but the chatter going around is that it started off with a bout of H1N1. There will likely be an autopsy...
H1N1 kills.
Get your damned shots.
Everything we see and try to understand is viewed through filters that we have each developed over time for the different scenarios and situations we find ourselves in. As we swap out our perception filters, based on our ever-changing situation and circumstance, the filters themselves become distorted through the almost constant handling. It is these marred filters which determine our view of the world... Cancer and Stroke contribute significantly to the distortion.
