Attachments to this Order:

Attachment A -- Facts About Novel Influenza A H1N1

Attachment B -- 641 Iowa Administrative Code chapter 1

is right!

what i find most interesting is that the order states
you "may have been exposed", not that you WERE,
not that it has been CONFIRMED, not that there is no
question....
***
i think it may be time for this old hippie to go on a NEWS FAST
i just do not know how much more of this i can take
***
sigh

I think they already know "who" may have been exposed if you know what I mean.

All we can do is to live each moment as if it were our last. Examine your life, forgive yourself, open up your heart and have faith.
Just know that you tried your best and that there really is something out there waiting for you that is better than this experience.

We are all in this together and remember that you will never be alone sweet WineHippie. We are eternal beings and we are being watched over by those who love us.

thanks, linda, i know you are correct
***
maybe i would feel better about this if i felt more people
were awake
***
like the sibel edmunds testimony - no reaction to speak of
except from the bradblog, i just find it difficult to
believe that people stay sleeping when a bomb like this
is dropped

My heart breaks because I also wish more people were awake. But we tried our best and now we must let go and allow them to continue their own personal journey.

The media is controlled and those who try to shake up things will be punished in one way or another. That is a fact.

Just try to enjoy each day, smell the roses and reflect on all the blessings that we've received. Let's not go out with frowns, anger or despair because life is too short for that.

I have decided to not allow anything to ever rain on my parade again.
I will stay in the LOVE mode and just enjoy the moment.

you are lucky to be in love at this time... it certainly helps
one stay positive
***
i am on way out door to go play cards with jack, and while
i am not in love with him, i do soak up the vibrations
that jack & bonnie's "love bubble" gives to me... it rubs
off on me
***
be back later, and i love you guys, too

How are people that don't have sick benefits supposed to maintain their home or apartment expenses if they are not able to work?

I fail to see how herding sick people together is going to do anything besides make them sicker.

Maybe they want more deaths so that they can say see "this is why we're making the vaccine mandatory, look at these people who have been affected". My guess is that you won't be allowed your homeopathic remedies either.

I see idiotic moves like this creating a pandemic.

I don't like saying this, but perhaps they don't plan on allowing 'some' people to ever return to their homes or jobs.

Not sure, but I don't think you will be able to treat yourself with anything that is healthy once you are in their hands.
God help us all.

I didn't want to be the one to say it either but it was the first thing that crossed my mind. Especially since they didn't address these situations.

Time for a major intervention of these "best laid plans" of theirs.

Lightning. Let's all pray for a miracle to happen soon.

Read between the lines here. What this is really saying that people living on the streets, run down buildings, too many people per household, and other "undesirables" will be the target.

Maybe they should start at the government buildings.

nice double-talk... reading between the lines

"DES MOINES, Iowa - Iowa public health officials are trying to alert the public that there is no truth to an Internet rumor that the state has instituted a quarantine for the H1N1 flu is untrue.

[no, they have not YET instituted the order]

Polly Carver-Kimm, spokeswoman for the Iowa Department of Public Health, said a reporter from Kentucky called the department Monday, asking about something called the "facility quarantine order."

Carver-Kimm says several other people later called, saying they had also received an e-mailed copy of the order, which reportedly says quarantine in a specific facility is required for people exposed to swine flu.

Carver-Kimm says isolation and quarantine are rarely used -- and only in very specific situations. She says Iowa has not issued any isolation and quarantine orders and has no plans to issue any this fall."

[but she doesn't say that a specific situation may arise... she says
they have no plans... leaving open the possibility that the situation could
change]

Well we know three states have already written the bill, one MA has approved it as last I checked. I think the only thing standing in the way is the National Governor's Council. Many state Governors don't want to give up their power to the Federal authorities. I still don't know if this is a good thing or not, but yes Linda I am praying that these plans are twarted by those who are aware of what is really going on and with a little help from above.

ONCE OUT OF YOUR house they may not let your back in. Just like the bird flu in order for this flu bug to become deadly they need lots of people confined in tight restrictive places . You can see this with the bird flu and 1918 Spanish flu so the stress of not knowing what will happen with you house and belongings not to mention your health will cause the virus to mutate and lead to complications that will only be reversed when the stress is reduced and the population as well . The bird flu is proof it is in all birds and only when the are confined in a stressful locations in large numbers does the flu emerge
