Well, October is almost over and nothing earth shattering has happened. I was listening to the financial channels as usual and they are trying to say that the recession is coming to an end but you can't tell that to the people who have lost jobs and have yet to find a replacement for said job.
One thing that has happened is that the flu season has happened earlier this year than in the past. Could this be a side effect of global warming? Epidemiologists have warned that disease patterns would shift. Thirty years from now I would like to be around to see if any progress has been made in the treatment of infectious disease and chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
