snopes.com often debunks rumours of interest to this lj, the latest being a chain email claiming that an outbreak of swine flu in New Orleans is being hushed up, and warning the recipient to avoid "anyplace with low income workers". This is of course a load of bollocks, but it hadn't occurred to me until now that the flu outbreak might be affecting Latinos and Latinas in the US - not the virus itself, but public panic and suspicion. Very disturbing.
