Haven't heard anything about this until now, but today I learned that two people in Germany have recently died of the H1N1-virus; one of them a three year-old girl. :( The other one is a man of 51. Both of them died in a hospital in Goettingen, which is only 35 km away from where I live.

Oh, dear. Be careful, wash your hands a lot and stay safe! I got my flu shot this year, which included the H1N1, so am not worried about that, but that's close to where you are!

Yes, it is close, but I have to admit I'm more worried about the Noro virus and stomach bugs in general since I hate vomiting! :o But I agree that this whole swine flu thing is kinda scary. :(

Way too scary and much to close to me, since I lost a dear friend to that horrible virus back in June of 2009. :(

Everyone, please be careful. Don't think "it won't happen to me", because you just never know.

I remember that, so sad! :(

They had a few deaths in Britain from that swine flu about a week before Christmas apparently.
