whooping cough

HELLO!!
Better read this.







Attention to Mom's with School Children.
Vaccinations stop whooping cough












1959 was the year that whooping cough cases
reached an all-time record high in this country.
In that year, 40,000 cases were reported.
But 2012 is quickly becoming a contender to
eclipse 1959. The CDC has reported approximately
19,000 cases already this year.
This is a serious health risk to anyone not vaccinated
against the disease, but in particular to infants,
who are the most vulnerable.


Maine is one of a handful of states experiencing a serious
outbreak of pertussis, with nearly 350 cases so far this year,
in every one of the state’s 16 counties.

If you live near Camden/Rockland, Me.

The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention
reported 347 confirmed or probable cases of whooping cough
statewide through Aug. 9 this year, compared with 79 cases
during the same period last year. This year's cases include 99
in Cumberland County, 85 in Somerset County
and 47 in Penobscot County.
















Maine public health officials say the number
of confirmed whooping cough cases in the state
continues to grow as the age of those affected also rises.
Dr. Sheila+Pinette director of the ?Maine Center
for Disease Control, says most cases early this year
were in children, but now an increasing number
of adults over 40 are coming down with the contagious
disease, also known as pertussis.
















The government recommends
that children get vaccinated
in five shots between
the age of 2 months and 6 years.
A tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis
booster shot is recommended
around age 11 or 12.



Epidemiologist with the national CDC, said the best thing people
can do to prevent whooping cough is stay up to date on vaccinations.
This disease is here, it is not going away.

Plague on frogs

This is scary, What next?











Remember the 10 plagues-
blood in the water
Pestilence-frogs-lice-hail-boils -flies
and Darkness .
I forgot the rest.
Anyway this Frog plague or natural phenomena
is scary. Is Chytrid Fungus caused by the toxins in our
water? Climate Changes. They say it was brought in
from Africa, to the states with the 1930
Frog /pregnancy testing.



















I think I have changed my mind. Lobster
is better. These infected frogs are being
born deformed. Missing legs and some are
male frogs that have become female
by producing and laying eggs. HE?SHE"S
It may be in our drinking water.
Disposing of all kinds of drugs, down the toilets.


















Food for Thought !!














So what's your opinion?
That is if you are interested .













Sanitation District prefers that
expired or surplus medications
NOT be “flushed down the toilet”
and disposed of through sanitary sewers.

Rivers

JOAN RIVERS At it again::::::::::::::::::::::



Television personality
Joan Rivers created a little mayhem
Tuesday at a Costco in Burbank,
chaining herself to a shopping cart
and shouting from a bullhorn
as part of a protest that also
happened to promote her new book.


Clad in chunky jewelry and oversized dark glasses,
Rivers went onto Costco’s property to denounce
the fact that the wholesale giant does not sell her book,

“I Hate Everyone … Starting With Me.”
Police officers were called to the scene
but no citations were issued.

Rivers ultimately left, but only after speaking
extensively with television reporters.
She said her book had been banned by the chain
because it has cuss words on the back cover.

“People should have the right to have the literature
they want,” the nasal-voiced comedienne told KTLA News.
“This is the beginning of Nazi Germany.”

Rivers had her own film crew in tow for her protest,
said Burbank city spokesman Drew Sugars.
"She had a whole entourage,"
Sugars told The Times. "Sounds like a staged media event."
Rivers made no mention of her protest
on her Twitter account, instead sending tweets
about the stretch bangle bracelets and the QVC
shopping network. But she did tell KTLA she
wasn't entirely satisfied with her publicity stunt.

"They kicked me out without giving me any free samples,”
she told the station.

Then there was the interview with
The New York Times Book review:::

Question:
Of all the books you’ve written,
which is your favorite?
Any you wish you’d never written at all?
I’m very proud of my first book,
“Enter Talking.”

It really tells of my struggle to
make it in the business,
and I think somewhere in there is
a good lesson for all young
actors/comedians, which is,
Just keep goingAnd of course,
my latest book,
“I Hate Everyone . . Starting With Me,”
is my true favorite.
What am I, crazy?
This is The New York Times. . ,. .








I'm not going to plug my book?
Please! The book I wish I’d never written is
“Joan Rivers’s Pop-Up Guide to Gynecology.”
She is still funny.
