The Swine Flu has apparently made it to Milwaukee.  The local news was all a-twitter (pun intended) with the two “probable” cases of it here.  Four schools have been closed as a result.  Yes, this is serious but it seems like the local news channels are giddy with excitement about the fact that it’s happening RIGHT HERE.  They don’t have to try to figure out a local angle to this story.  That’s what’s always to frustrating to me about the local news stations — whatever the big story, they try to find a local tie-in and it’s usually ridiculous.  Unfortunately this time there’s no local angle needed.  The news is actually happening right here.  I just hope for everyone’s sake that this outbreak doesn’t turn into a pandemic.
