In response to Jason and the Swine

I believe that the swine flu will have a major effect on the economy. I think more people will feel the need to obtain health care in case they contract the deadly flu. Also, companies don't want their employees catching a deadly virus so maybe they will go to further lengths to help and protect their employees. However, this will probably mean higher taxes to help cover the costs of more health care and more money taken out of people's pay checks. That is bad because the less money the population has, the less money they are willing to spend on businesses. My hope is that the new vaccine will help get rid of the swine flu scare. Maybe companies can just help pay for their employees to get vaccinated and have that be the end of it. What should a big company do if several employees contract swine flu?
