The CDC upped the global pandemic level yesterday. I’m sure people in Chicago are quaking in their boots right now. Can only imagine how this becomes some kind of ammo in the immigration debate.
With the news came a paid assignment. Your boy gets to do some reeeeal journalism on this health fiasco.
Which is great, but had me thinking, like Roy Scheider’s boat in Jaws:
JERSEY!! (R.I.P)
with this monster flu….I’m gonna need a bigger mask.
The reason? I have to go to the main respiratory hospital today in Tlalpan, which is the place where 6 of the 159 people died from flu-like illness. Buggin, right?
Like all work that involves hospitals, i’m expecting bad news and a long wait. Most people in the health community and law enforcement (the hospital is well guarded) are NOT feeling the media right now.
So, what’s new?


I’m just looking forward to copping from this Nike store I discovered down by the hospital.
PHOTO CORRECTION: The hospital identified in photo above is the Hospital General Dr. Manuel Gea González in Tlalpan. It’s a “level 2” location in the swine epidemic. Another hospital, just a few yards away, is a “level 3” hospital specifically for respiratory infections, called (INER) . It’s pictured below.
Looking good cam, like that first pic . . . man I should’ve gotten off my butt and gone with you!!!
