A recent study by the Internation Health Observation Panel (IHOP) study of victims of Swine Flu in the United States shows that Democrats are over 8 times as likely to contact the disease than Republicans. White the nature of the relationship between political preference and vulnerability to the illness is unknown, scientists have begun tomake several observations.
It appears that as a much tougher group, Republicans are able to work through their illness, while Democrats are far more likely to lay in bed complaining of their flu and irritating their friends and families. Furthermore, Republicans tend to have higher IQs and therefore are far less likely to lick hand rails and other places that infected people have come in contact with.
Scientists urge that people cover their mouths when sneezing, wash their hands, and consider switching political parties to protect against the spread of this unwanted Mexican visitor.
