| Discovery HQ 2012 |
1. Well, it's shark week on the Discovery Channel. 25th anniversary actually.
2. The baby boomers (born 1945-1965) are a happy and optimistic group but delusional. No way do they have enough money saved and their health is really not that good. That's going to cost money but we will have to wait until the election to get a clue how much.
3. The CDC is recommending that the boomers (see above) be tested for hepatitis C. Many of us are carriers and unaware of it. It can cause cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer. 2 million boomers are infected. Andrew Muir, Director of Hepatology at Duke University, says treatment remains expensive and grueling. It can cost $100,000, which can be beyond the reach of people (see above) without health insurance, Muir says, and having hepatitis C can make it hard to get insurance.
4. Finally, from the Shark Week story, fake blood is a combination of corn syrup, ketchup and chocolate syrup.
Kind of creepy how the two stories seem to connect, perhaps we will see a surge in the number of seniors (in Florida) choosing Death by Shark while they can still swim. (see #2)
