If you have not heard the news, there is a nasty flu in Mexico and has appeared in many US states, including my own Ohio.  

Please everyone, continue to be smart abou washing hands, contact with others, and all the other common sense tactics that can go so far in keeping us healthy.

Thank you for posting this. I was going to post something about this as well. All of my nursing professors are wanting us to spread the word and make people aware. Not to scare people, but to be aware!!

Let's be safe everyone!!

Thanks for posting the link.  

I have been following this closely, as I live in San Diego.  We have a few cases here and a school a couple of exits north of us has just shut down due to 6 teachers suspected as having the swine flu.  

With 3 kids of school age, I am keeping informed.

Take care,
Pat

i have ms and now have symptoms im told are consistant probebly swine flue ,. They are no longer testing here for swine flue just treating it. i am 3 days into taking tamiflu and i need to say im thinking myself lucky that this is mild for a flue as unpleasant as it is, sore throat high temp general weakness and the worst part a very painfull chesty cough wich im off to see about later today as im told antibiotics will be needed if it turns out to be any kind of chest infection  fingers crossed iv also had no hidiouse side effects from the tamiflue . good luck and i will def be wanting the jab when its available to me x
