Swine Flu
As most of you already know, Mexico City is thought to be the epicenter of the Swine Flu outbreak that has infected Mexico, USA, Canada, Spain, Israel, Brazil, New Zealand and other countries around the world. Schools have been cancelled until May 6th with the chance for further extension. When we heard that school was cancelled last night, people had mixed thoughts. Some were more worried than others, especially with so many unanswered questions. Since yesterday, the number of infected people in Mexico has risen considerably. Suspected swine flu deaths have hit about 100 in Mexico alone. Some think it may become a pandemic which would lead to the closure of all borders and quarantining people in the country that they are in no matter what... Face masks are sold out across Mexico and the vaccine probably won't be developed for another 6 months. Here are some Q&As about swine flu. The scariest part is that those dying are between 20 and 40 years old with healthy immune systems. My blog title seems more appropriate than ever right now. Cross your fingers for the best. EEEEEEEK!
