A Public Service Announcement:

Just to clear up any possible misconceptions, the quasi-dedicated staff of The People's Republic of D.Cous. does not approve of the flu. Under no circumstances do we encourage contact or experimentation of any kind with the flu. Readers of our publication are advised to avoid the flu at all costs, because it may be harmful to your health. We also feel obliged to dispel any fears that reading our blog will result in contraction of the flu. To the best of our knowledge, there is no correlation between readership of this blog and contraction of the flu. The fact that our entire staff has been infected (quite by accident, we assure you) has been attributed (accurately, we feel) to conicidence. Thank you, and have a pleasant week.
