Looks like Armey's trying to neutralize H1N1 as an influence on policy decisions, by portraying it as just demagogy on the part of Obama. Well, as some die, and more incur medical bills they can't afford, I think Armey will come up short. H1N1 also points up the need for paid sick leave nationwide, as many low-income workers simply can't afford to take time off, even when they're very ill, and that poses a public health risk, particularly when--as often they do--the workers in question toil in restaurants.
