Poor, but flu-less

I need write this in before the red spots on the world map you see in your newspapers begin to discolour Africa and Asia.
So far, it’s the developed world that has been left shivering and scared by swine flu. Isn’t that ironic. Disease and poverty-ridden swathes of Asia and Africa have been untouched (save that techie who brought back the flu from the US to India).
It means if you are not rich enough to holiday in Cancun, you will not catch this latest plague.
Life, of late, is making a very serious case for not being rich.
