Swine Flu update

Cases in Kansas, Cases in NYC...The WHO has declared an international emergency and has stated this has pandemic potential... The CDC says this cannot be contained.

On the positive side all of the newest cses have been mild disease and the patients have fully recovered. It is possible that the Mexican virus has mutated into a less virulent and less dangerous form.

Still be cautious. Don't change your routine, but do protect yourself. The CDC video I posted explains how.

If you get sick with fever body aches and severe GI or Respiratory symptoms see your doctor quickly. Tamiflu and Relenza seem to work against it. How much supply there is now that we are at the end of the flu season is a question I have.
