mhm its mostly cnn and other news broadcasting stations that are talking about it to much. The newspapers aren't talking about it as much.

they should change topics right?
they are telling the ppl, dont freak out when they say, "omg, time to quarantine the infected and we might be in an epidemic as we know it"

Guys, just take normal precautions you would during the regular sick season. Be cautious. If you feel ill, go see a doctor. If you know of someone who is ill, try to stay away from them.

The media has little else to report on right now, thus making the Swine Flu their top story. Yes, it is probably a problem, but just be cautious and don't worry too much about it.

The reason for it spreading is because of the way the world is. People travel all of the time from country to country. If one person from Mexico flies to America, and say someone on his flight flies to Turkey, and then the person from Turkey flies to Australia, suddenly we have infected at least three countries with more for the other people on those flights.

The virus, from what I have read and been told, is NOT spread through touching a doorknob that someone else touched. It is caught from the air.

Eating pork, so long as it is cooked, is ok also according to what I am hearing/reading.

karma for you!

Thank you.

I'd also like to point out that as of right now, officials are saying that a quarantine is highly unlikely to work due to the way that the flu is spreading.
