PANDEMIC PANIC Pandemic panic. Influenza bonanza. I make a mask from an old shoe and wear it out. Is this what I am required to do? I suppose so. The smell is worse than the curse of the virus. I feel like a badly sung note in an old song, but one irony is certain and it cheers me up: Zorro also wore his mask wrong .
