The conversation with my sister

by Carol Nelson

The conversation I want with my sister: “…. yeah..Two years ago you said : “yadidda Yadidda…… the Chinese Flu!” I came to a state of total woke. I said with a tone, clear and precise” there is no such thing as the Chinese Flu . All diseases are named by W.H.O. Nooo, Not The Who. No, not Dr Who. WHO : the World Health Organization who refrain from naming them after places of possible origin unduly, unwisely . Even the Spanish flu likely Started in France. (But there was a war on with Spain. So let’s blame them.) Who ever heard of the French Flu anywho? Listen ! It’s Influenza. The chosen name is based on genetic structure to facilitate development diagnostic test,vaccines and medicines minimizing Negative effects on nations. Influenza has been around for 1,500 years… About now …in the conversation, she’d remember why she hasn’t spoken to me (her only remaining sibling) in 2 years. Yadidda…yadidda.
