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

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.

I was with my friend this morning when her husband called her from Houston to say that they had canceled the trip due to the swine flu threat and he and two other men were waiting on standby flights to come back home.

I just saw our local news, and so far it is influenza type A, the test results won't be back until end of the week from Melbourne, so we will then know for sure if it is swine flu in NZ, but considering the kids were in Mexico, i think the chances are pretty high, they still have not located everyone on that flight either, so that is a big worry, they could be spreading it everywhere, let us hope it is not the swine flu down under.

Again thinking of everyone worldwide who is affected by this serious threat.

Prayers on the way for everyone effected by this in all countries. I look for it to get worse in the US because of the lack of border controls on all our borders. If it spreads in the US, it will just be a matter of time before it gets worse in Canada.

I certainly hope we help Mexico and Canada get all the medicine and help they need.

Breaking news from a local TV station.... one confirmed case of swine flu in northern Indiana. They said it was a teenage male.

I live in northern Indiana, the northeast corner. Not sure where they are classifying "northern" Indiana.

No one here seems to be panicking, just being cautious. One friend of a friend has gone overboard and says that we should be stocking up on all supplies because we soon won't be getting anything from Mexico! Oh my.... how sad to be that type of person.

Isabelle, please keep us posted on the situation.
