Concerns about Swine Flu

Q. What is the impact so far?

A. As of last night, there were 149 confirmed deaths in Mexico, and at least 40 confirmed cases in the United States. None of these were fatal, and 28 were reported in a cluster in one New York City prep school.

Q. What else can I do?

A. Always cover your mouth if you cough and wash your hands afterward. Those are still the best way to prevent the spread of any airborne virus.

When will they know for sure if the cases in your state are swine flu?Gabby said someone went home from her school with a high fever yesterday,but that can be anything.I don't care if they close the schools if there is swine flu in them,but I hope they don't close just because some one has a high fever.I want to be out on JUne 3

I know lots of places around here are waiting for results to the "test" to find out.
