New strain of flu in Mexico and parts of the U.S.

Yes another thing to scare the jeepers out of everyone, a group of high school students visiting Mexico on a school language trip are thought to have come down with Swine flue in New Zealand,they are in isolation and our country is taking all the precautions necessary, and everyone on that flight is being traced and will be isolated, unfortunately some of them are going to be hard to contact, hopefully through the media they can be, i just hope they have not spread it by now.

The government tells us we are in a good position to fight this flue, with plenty supplies of Tamiflue, i sure hope they are right.

Thinking of everyone who is at risk here and overseas in the United States,especially you Husky's mom and her family.,and also Killearns Kitties, as it is in Scotland as well.

Let us all be safe and well.

Thanks for updating us Isabel!! I truly hope this flu will not come anything near to you!!

Today a few passengers, who came back with a flight from Mexico, were taken to quarantine because they had a fever. Let's hope it is NOT that mexican flu....

I read a good article about this flu flareup. It is ,they believe, Mother
Nature biteing us back for raising hogs in the "factory farm" inviroment.

They work like large petri dishes for new germ production.
