Thank God, so far there are no reported cases of swine flu in Jamaica but health authorities are on high alert and not taking any chances. Swine Flu have ravaged Mexico causing over 100 deaths and have spread to other countries including the US. Jamaica Health minister said that the World Health Organisation has a stockpile of appropriate drugs to benefit the region in the event of an outbreak. Hospitals and other health care facilities are on alert just in case the virus hit the country.
Barack H. Obama is the 44th President of the United States.
His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others. (more…)
We at Jamaica Views.com have to view President Barrack Obama firs 100 days in office as a tremendous success. Why? In the midst of formidable opposition from the now disorganized and delusioned republican party he faces many obstacles. Remembering that they fiercely opposed his stimulus package and resist almost every project that he undertakes. With that in mine we give high ratings for the following: (more…)
When you love your country and the people
You do the right thing.
When you know that the job you are doing is for the people
You do the right thing.
When you realized that being boxed in a corner,
And being forced fed with ideas that you don’t believe in
You do the right thing.
Senator Specter I appalled you for the move you made
I applauded you for the respect and hope you have for country and the people you serve
Sir I applauded you for
Doing the right thing

April 28 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama has an approval rating of 68 percent, a higher figure than his predecessor had at his 100-day mark in office, a poll found.

Hi. I’m Dr. Joe Bresee with the CDC’s Influenza Division. I’m here to speak with you today about the symptoms of swine flu infections and what to do if you get sick. Since March 2009, persons with infection caused by a new strain of swine flu virus have been identified in the U.S. and other countries. It’s important that people recognize the symptoms of swine flu and seek medical care if necessary. (more…)
As a result of the recenlty staged Penn Relay the Philadelphia Inquirer is saying that
Nickel Ashmeade, the lanky, euphoniously named runner, wearing Jamaica’s ubiquitous green and gold, would be on the second leg in a heat St. Jago’s should have dominated.
Many on the tiny, track-obsessed Caribbean island that has supplanted the U.S. as the world’s sprint king believe Ashmeade is the heir to Bolt, who succeeded Asafa Powell, who followed other Jamaican greats such as Donald Quarrie and Herb McKenley.
“Maybe there will never be another Usain,” said Donald Bailey, who lives in St. Catherine’s, just a sprint away from St. Jago’s. “But this boy [Ashmeade] is coming on very strong. Now that he has dedicated himself to running, you can see that look of greatness in him.”
By now everyone should realize that there is a swine (hog) flu going around. Some countries like Mexico is hit hard and there are reports of several deaths as a result of this new epidemic. Whatever you do stay away from the swine until further notice. You should not be eating swine anyway, but that is another story. According to medical experts the swine flu is contagious and could be caught even if you have no direct contact with the hog. Wash your hands regularly and cut down on the hand shake, especially from swine lovers. This is not a joke it is serious stuff and should be treated as same.
