Seems to me that this is killing people in Mexico more because of a reason. I think it may be treatment or an immune system primed with vaccines. <br /><br />Just about every "new" case now is a case of someone who has recovered. The worst is that it is allergy season too and my allergy symptoms are flu-like... I don't know about everyone else's, and I am a teeny bit paranoid. <br /><br /><br />PS killing pigs and quarantening a hotel are stupid...Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260117428119041785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-66597727879884103192009-05-01T07:10:00.000-06:002009-05-01T07:10:00.000-06:00So here's what I've been wondering...if tens of th...So here's what I've been wondering...if tens of thousands of people are dying from the REGULAR flu every year, why is this such a big deal?

If NYC has some cases then DC definitely will. <br />Meanwhile in OH: the hospital I'm at has already sent down a bunch of the swabs to the CDC already, and I'm sure every other hospital in the state has done the same.

Besides the occasional earthquake or avalanche nothing disastrous really ever happens there, does it? <br /><br />I should have added to my comment about following the prophet's counsel on food storage...that we'd all be grateful that mom has followed the words of the prophet and tried to get us to do the same. She's been working on us all pretty steadily for the last few years. The reason I have anything at all is thanks to mom. Love you, mom! <br /><br />P.S.

It is so odd to me that people are DYING of it in Mexico and "mildly affected" here... but then again, there are 2 suspected cases of fatality now in California.<br /><br />I was soooo paranoid today with what I was touching and who I let touch my baby. Adults, yes, students, no.<br /><br />I too was thinking about food storage and I am so glad you are well-prepared. As for Florida- that sounds fantastic! I never really have been there (except briefly last summer), so I will have to come visit. Everyone loves Florida. I would actually REALLY love seeing the keys. <br /><br />Anyway, please be safe!
