THIS IS THE CURRENT LAW..Now maybe one of those healthcare supporters can tell me how this is not a form of "thinning out the herd of 65+" which is what the government is not supporting but demanding. There goes grandma..
My understanding of what is planned is slightly different. People our age show a much greater immunity to swine flu than those under 30. Seniors with serious chronic conditions (heart disease, cancer, etc) will take priority with other high risk groups. Medical caregivers will, as usual, go to the head of the line.
