Have you seen the preview for Contagion – the new blockbuster film about a global flu pandemic?
What’s most frightening about this star-studded film is that flu epidemics are real, and they can spread quickly – especially in the Philadelphia, where over 200,000 hard hard-working people without paid sick days are forced to choose between their financial security and their health when they get sick. During the recent H1N1 outbreak, seven million of the people caught the flu from their co-workers. Less serious flus and colds can also disrupt our lives.
Please take a moment to send this video to City Council so that they can stop the real contagion in Philadelphia.
