Poor Jessica Simpson! First she had to sleep between not one, but two nets to keep the bugs out of her bed in Uganda, and now she has risked her life for her new show, “The Price of Beauty.” Here is a Twitpic the singer posted of her and BF hairstylist Ken Paves at the airport departing for India. See how happy and blissfully unaware they are about what horrors they might encounter upon their arrival? The same day they landed in Bollywood to film a segment for the reality program, Indian health officials announced that over 13,000 people are infected with swine flu. Still, brave Jessica and Ken soldiered on, and as of press time, neither one has contracted the illness. The price of beauty, indeed. (Am I the only person who kind of can’t wait to see this show? Quite possibly, yes.) [Examiner]

@MuchoMacho - the MD in my office told us that the main difference between regular and swine flu is that people who don’t normally die becasue of regular flu ARE dying from swine flu: small kids and pregnant women. Not sure if there are solid numbers yet comparing reg to swine flu on the percentages of people who get it and survive vs people who get it and dont’ survive.

At a meeting last week, the total number of deaths in the US by Swine Flue was 2600 (since last spring). Last year alone, the “regular” flu killed 30,000 people. (US)
