Swine Flu

Just heard on the TV news that an elementary school here has been closed for a week or so. A little girl going to school there has the swine flu. They're saying others will likely have contacted it too. BC has now got a total of 11 cases, Canada 34... 13 countries, 265 cases. Mexico is still the worst.

They say that here the H1N1 virus (commonly called Swine Flu) is not any worse than other flues here, and they are not sure why it's so bad in Mexico.

Washing hands is apparently important in heading off the spread of the virus. We are in the end of the flu season, so they say, so the problem should be over soon. I have no worries about this flu. I haven't had a flu or cold in many years, so believe this does not effect me in any way.
