		<description>I don&#039;t know if it will help the economy, I think maybe with the excessive population growth&#039;s that we&#039;re experiencing, and the cost on the environment as a result - I think a large plague or pandemic may slow down and help the environment as a by product.

Perhaps it&#039;s God&#039;s way of slowing down Man&#039;s destruction of the Earth.

Economy-wise this is kinda macabre but the more fatalities resulting from flu, the more jobs there will be available for those who survive. - There&#039;s always a silver lining right? Just gotta out-live everyone else.</description>

		<description>I was reading how it will negatively effect families that don&#039;t get paid sick leave for themselves or caring for their children.  These people can&#039;t afford to take off work, and so will be working sick and sending their kids to school sick.  
From Moms Rising:  
The news over the weekend was scary -- outbreaks of a potentially pandemic flu virus, called the &quot;swine flu&quot; are being reported all over the world, including in the U.S.  As of this morning there have been only 20 confirmed cases of swine flu in the U.S., and none of them have been fatal.1 White House officials monitoring the situation are recommending that:  &quot;If you&#039;re sick, stay home, get treatment, go see a doctor.&quot;2 
 
This is easier said than done. In the U.S. today, nearly half of workers aren&#039;t allowed to earn paid sick days (i.e. they don&#039;t have a single paid sick day to take when illness strikes in order to keep our communities healthy and not spread illness).  And more than half of the workforce does not have or cannot use paid sick days to care for sick children.  The numbers are even worse in industries where people need paid sick days the most: 92% of waiters and waitresses, and 79% of child care workers aren&#039;t allowed to earn any paid sick days. 3 
 
How do the experts expect people to stay home when they&#039;re sick , if they don&#039;t have any paid sick days?
