The latest on the Swine in Mexico

The Mexico government  remarkably put many precautions into effect when discovering the "swine flu" out break in Mexico City.  They shut down all schools throughout the entire country until May 6th in addition to other public events and social gatherings being cancelled.  I'm impressed with their swift action. 

Our particular state, Jalisco, has NO confirmed swine flu cases to date.  Many businesses, not all, are having their employees wear face masks.  This helps in prevention of spreading the germ if you are infected.

Find out about patient "ZERO" in this article.  You'll see that about  250,000 to 500,000 people die worldwide every year from the "normal" flu.  Far more than the figures to date on the swine flu.  However, the BIG concern is that there is no vaccine for SWINE flu and very little natural immunity.  

Hum, wash your hands and stay away from confined crowds.
