Swine Flu

[Jyson]

I agree with JLC. This portion of the article hits it home. Seriously, there are what? 20 million people living in Mexico City? And 149 have died? The percentage is rediculously small.

"Meanwhile, that year--and in every year this decade—between 30,000 and 50,000 American deaths were recorded from complications related to the seasonal flu. Another 40,000 people died in automobile accidents. And each year, gunshot wounds account for 30,000 deaths, around 4,000 people drown while swimming or boating and 60 people die from lightning strikes."

BTW... I'm going to Ensenada, Mexico On May 16th to help build houses for the homeless. I'll let you know if I make it or not...

I as well agree with both you and Judy.

Here is another article I found on it as well that answers some simple questions. http://health.yahoo.com/news/ap/med_...e_flu_q_a.html

For the most part it sounds like a common flu. And it sounds rather easy to avoid it.(Don't go to Mexico)
