Put huge numbers of people together in tight quarters, like say occupying a state capitol building, for a few weeks, toss in Wisconsin winter weather and the stress and strain of losing virtually all bargaining rights for all public workers in your state and what happens? Some evil bugs going around.One of our crew has gotten it ... persistent hacking, more phlegm than clogs the guv's stunted conscience, etc. He passed along this email after giving it one of the common names …
OK. Capitol Cough, huh? That makes three names I have heard for the sick that has descended upon any who spent time in the Capitol: the Capitol Cough, the Capitol Plague, and the worst one yet, Rotundabola.It's also being called the Capitol Crud and, wait for it, Scott Snot.
Do we need a reader's poll?

Walker Pneumonia
Oh, that's good. Very good.
Whatever it is, I got it bad.
It is horrible. Most of those who slept inside the Capitol are incredibly sick, going on a month. Many of us are being treated for pneumonia now. I myself am on week 4 of using a rescue inhaler.
Call it what you will, we consider it worth the agony to be fighting a much tougher menace!
Definitely lots of people are walking around sick even now. Thanks for your work on the barricades, even if you took a hit. We gotta win this, and we can.
