Page 1A: 62% of people believe it is unlikely that they or their family member will get sick from the flu virus. Such positive scenario is healthy mindset.
Let us wait till this Fall or winter 2009 to see the happenings. It is still too early to know the future yet.
Another interesting anecdote below:-
"Lessons in life, from one Bill Gates to another. Microsoft chief's views are still shaped by father.(Genes?)
Comment: The head of a family loves the musical language and the offspring inherited the genes but they are NOT wealthy. Perhaps they are rich in spirit with faith, hope and love. No matter what they are doing, they stay humble. That is the virtue or value shared by folks in USA and in China.
Page 6A: Pat Vurro wrote her letter to the Editor of" USAToday" :-
"I lived in France for 16 years and we did not experience long waits of treatment."
Comment: I know a case when a patient had to wait in ER for five hours,two times in a hospital last summer.
She wrote further:"The USA is a great country and I'm proud of it. The European health care system is not perfect but the US needs a better health system." The evidence is proof of real cases in the real world.
Russell Harman wrote: " As an American who lived abroad in Canada, UK and Germany for 14 years, I found out US system contrasts starkly with my experience and we have to look outside our border to see several examples. Get with the program, America!" Here is another testimony by comparisons.
Comment: Comparisons beget new ways for a better system in USA." However,that remains to be seen due to the fact that some lawmakers would not budge their views: 'We are the best and we stay put for our system!'
Page 3B: " Cash is the simplest transactions and comes with no strings, fees or delayed costs."
Comment: Folks in China make payments in cash. Here is another Sino-American economic activity for reference or comparison.
"Be Careful with Rewards: Such attractions are designed to get folks to use credit cards more than we really should. In times of financial crisis, we should exercise restraint and live a simple life as Amish folks to be our role model. Amish people are hardworking Americans. They are known for their simple life for us to emulate.
