A double dose of horror
I don't know whether to be grateful or not for an item posted on the Richmond Times-Dispatch offering assurance that the flu doesn't have to scare off trick-or-treaters this Halloween. It hadn't occurred to me to regard the little ghosties and ghoulies as a real threat this year, but it should have, given the early flu season and the reported ease with which the H1N1 virus is transmitted between humans. So, to open the door to the kids, and maybe a case of the flu, or not? I'm going to risk it, but follow safety tip No. 1: drop the candy in the bag; avoid direct contract with the visiting humans. Assuming they are humans.
