Selfies are easy... math is hard..."By last week, influenza had claimed 23,000 lives in the United States, and yet no politicians or journalists were getting up on soap boxes to declaim the horror of stores remaining open while Americans are dying in hospitals, at home or on the streets as a result of flu."So... less than 2 percent of the total killed by plain old annual flu.

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH:
In Toronto the Good, KungFlu & Homicide numbers running neck & neck...
"A male victim is in serious but non-life-threatening condition after he was shot multiple times in Scarborough at Warden Avenue and Cataraqui Crescent late on Thursday night. No suspect information was made available."Oh, it gets better...
"Emergency crews were called to a Toronto Public Library near Don Mills Road and St. Denis Drive, south of Eglinton Avenue, at around 7:30 p.m. for reports of a shooting."**********
LAST WORD: "Toronto man" strikes again...
"Investigators said they executed a search warrant at a residence on Scarlett Road in Toronto and arrested Abdi Ismail."
