Some heretofore
unknown "strain" of some kind of "flu' has struck Southern California at
near-epidemic levels within the past 2 weeks.
Interestingly,
our information indicates Southern California has been getting severely
dosed with contrails within this same period of time. Some scientific analyses
as well as much circumstantial and anecdotal evidence shows some of these
"contrails"--dispersed by military aircraft--contain various infectious
biological agents. Could there be a connection between that and the widespread
outbreak of some unusually virulent "FLU?"? We think the odds are high.

LOS ANGELES
(AP) _ A nasty strain of the flu is flooding Southern California hospitals
with haggard patients, straining emergency rooms and forcing some medical
centers to send the sick elsewhere.
Hospitals from
Los Angeles and San Diego inland reported scores of patients suffering
from the flu, pneumonia and respiratory ailments Saturday.
The crush of
flu-suffering patients forced dozens of hospitals in Los Angeles and Orange
counties to close their emergency rooms temporarily Friday and route patients
elsewhere.
"It's a big
one," said Joan Keller, a nursing supervisor with San Bernardino County's
Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, where the critical care units
were full Saturday. "It's been heavy everywhere, from what I'm hearing."
Nurses at Arrowhead
and many other hospitals are working extra shifts to cover for colleagues
who caught the bug and to care for the additional patients seeking treatment.
"I don't think
anybody really knows what's causing it. Maybe it's a new strain," said
Silvia Mieure, nursing supervisor at Northridge Hospital Medical Center
northwest of Los Angeles. <snip
Admissions for
flu and cold symptoms have bumped the daily patient count at the hospital
by 30 to 40 since the first of December, she said. <snip
