Happy World Hepatitis Day

I don't know if anyone was aware or not but today is World Hepatitis Awareness Day. I do not know about you guys but I had not seen much about this out there. It is supposedly a big promotion world wide. While it may be a great idea I think it may need a little more work because I don't think many people are aware it. Hell HCV advocate's information on their main page says it is in 2 weeks and then gives a date of May 19th 2008. The concept is good but like I said the delivery needs some work.

It's a shame that there is not more happening.

The drug companies should be throwing some money in for the PR of this day. Mind you, there have been a lot of adds on viral hepatitis on Danish tv (I live in Denmark) for the past few months. I hardly ever watch tv, so I was pleased to hear that when my eldest son told me.

Actually, I'm gonna check CNN and BBC, if there is anything on.

Didn't know.  Maybe that explains all the yellow lights I drove through this morning.  It's also Victoria Day (Canada holiday) today.
