So much for Peru not being affected by swine flu, as this dolt and others in the PE government were so eager to tell us.

Thanks for the oportunity to post my message. I am  a system engineer and I finally found out who “DAVID N” is. I got his mail. So I googled it, and I found he is 14 years old. He is from united states but his parents are peruvians. He likes to post bizarre messeges in different web pages. And He likes to make people drive crazy, so :
DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING WHAT “DAVID N” SAYS. HE IS A NAUGHTY  TEENAGER WHO LIKES TO PLAY PRANK ON US.

Hate to say it but: I told you so. It's not the fact that this guy was wrong in what he claimed, it's that he made a claim this stupid in the first place. The planet is full of stupid politicians but in Peru...... well I think they really set the example for the rest of the world.
