Swine Flu Outbreak in Mexico

Just when you think you heard it all. I read today in the New York Times, "Mexico May Isolate Patients With Deadly Swine Flu Strain" it just simply amazes me how many animals transport diseases from themselves to humans. It really makes you stop and think how exactly humans get this and how amazing it is how it spreads so quickly. People in Mexico are alarmed already 68 people killed and and over 1,000 people infected they are closing schools and have cancelled many public events. people are taking many procautions to protect themselves from this disease and they are wearing face masks and not shaking hands or kissing eachother on cheeks which is a custom in the hispanic culture. They said that this disease is now leaking into the United States so we need to be careful and they are urging to not go visit mexico, so with the summer time coming up folks and you are thinking about going to mexico you might want to re think that twice.

That's so crazy. I have heard so much about the Swine Flu lately. I hope people around here don't start to get it! I feel so bad for the people in Mexico because I saw on tv a lot of them are walking around with masks over their face to not get sick! So sad!
