Ok What's going on here? flu scare

[hobub]

This is close. This is scary stuff movies are made about and very close. These people are not coming in contact with pigs and that is how these flus are usually spread. Plus it's killing people who are not vunerable to sickness. That is the general population folks. I don't like the looks of this.

Man...it has not been a good year for Mexico...the drug wars are at an all time high...and now this...very scary.

"The outbreak even hit Mexico's beloved national pastime — two sold-out football matches Sunday — Pumas vs. Chivas and America vs. Tecos — will be played in empty stadiums to prevent the spread of the disease."

Wow...this is bad...

The virus is an influenza A virus, carrying the designation H1N1. It contains DNA from avian, swine and human viruses, including elements from European and Asian swine viruses, said the CDC, which is already working on a vaccine.

I had heard about that on the news. The word they used that stuck in my head was Pandemic. Thats a reality I don't want. I was freaked out when the Bird Flu and West Nile Virus started but this is something scarier.

My doctor always tells me that we are way over due for another real bad flu epidemic. Hope this isn't it.
