I have been following the news pretty closely watching to see how much the Swine Flu is spreading. Some say it is blown up by the media, but I am not sure what to think about it. At first others were saying it was a tactic scare and that everyone was overacting, now they are saying it's the governments fault for taking 8 days to get information out. If they didn't warn people, people would say no one did anything about it, when they try to get the info out about it it is a tactic scare. Anywho, here is the latest information from the news today...
Raised the threat level to 5
Health officials are contemplating on whether or not to raise a pandemic to its highest level
2,500 sick; 159 dead in Mexico
130 U.S. cases in 18 states
10 confirmed cases in San Diego and 7 probable
Over 300 schools closed
School Scare in SDSU because of a student with Swine Flu - possibility of closing but not confirmed
Ships docking to San Diego to avoid from Mexico
Mexico City is shut down -schools, restaurants, pools, movie theaters, etc.
Drug stores are sold out of the masks
Border shut down poll - 75% yes, 25% no
I'm sure all this info changes constantly, all I know is Darrin is off for the next 5 days!! WA-HOO!!Wonder what we are going to do?? Guess we should look into buying masks, 5 days in the house = IMPOSSIBLE!!

gotta love the swine flu. it's crazy! but just keep washing your hands and taking showers, you should be good. :)
Yes definitely agree. Go see doctor if you, Darrin, or ESP Reagan show any classical flu-like symptoms. I heard not to go to ER- too crowded and if you don't have it already, you are just putting yourself at risk. Just make appt to see regular dr! :) Sister is doing good by staying in the know! That's my sister!
