Whew! Now I am recovered from the Flu, I think. How are you feeling? I strongly urge that if you start to feel bad, get to a Doctor right away. The Tamiflu medicine that reduces the severity and duration of the flu only works if taken in the first 24 hours of the flu. After that it has little effect, other than to reduce how contagious you are to others (a significant benefit for loved ones, coworkers and others however). If you wait, this slime flu will kick your butt for 7-14 days, I am here to tell you. It can lead to pneumonia as well, becoming more serious still. So what is the flu shot to prevent economic meltdowns in the future? And what is the best medicine to reduce the severity and duration of this and future recessions and slowdowns? What are the preventive measures that the toy industry can take in the future to prevent the damaging effects of safety recalls, loss of toyfair venue, loss of retail distribution channels, etc.? How as an industry can we meet the common challenges we will all face in the future? We in the Chicago area are going to establish the Illinois Toy Advocacy Task Force to represent the importance of toys and the toy industry to Illinois and beyond. Chicago is the home of modern toy invention and design. Chicago is where most of the iconic toys of the modern era originated, in the offices and machine shops of the Legendary Marvin Glass and Associates, and the splinter groups that formed over the years and after Glass shattered. Chicago gave birth to Chatty Cathy, Yakkity Yak Teeth, Rubber Vomit, Oversized Sunglasses, SSP, Simon, Rockem Sockem Robots, Mousetrap, Operation, and the list goes on and on. This city has been and continues to be the creative wellspring of the toy industry.
