Swine Flu Info Blog

I know this seems like a strange question and I assure you, I'm not a total hypochondriac but I was just watching TV and saw all of the adults in Mexico walking around in surgical masks and wondered what they are using on the babies, infants and toddlers? I have an 11 month old and I know for sure she wouldn't tolerate anything being on her face.
Also, even though they have said that pork is safe to eat still, will any of you be eliminating your families diet?

I mean come on, look at this maphttp://www.swineflu2009.com/
its EVERYWHERE.
I know its curable & you shouldn't panic cause its just like the flu, but do you think basically everyone will get this disease?
And do you think in 2 weeks schools will start closing because of this disease? Like all around the country?

With now outbrakes in the United Kingdom, this disease is starting to really catch peoples attention. It's spreading fast and we have no cure and scientists are really letting alot of information out yet.
My question is what do you think the conseqences of swine flu will be?. This maybe a little early to speculate but with recent outbrakes I think we can have a decent prediction. No silly answers please anybody that does is very immature.
Over to you!

It appears President Obama will make it law that you must inoculate your children in the fall from getting the swine flu..He plans on lining them up for injections as they did in the 50s .Are you willing to accept this?

Where do you think its come from? (I know its from Mexico though!)
Do you think its the end of the world?
Do you think its serious,like the Great Plague,and we'll have a world fire next year?
Or do you think its like bird flu,where its just the media taking stories and calling them pandemics?
How long do you think the pandemic will last?

So whats everyone think about this swine flu. Is it something to be scared of or just nothing?

I welcome answers in the affirmative as well as negative. I am doing a project and therefore wish the same. I would highly appreciate answers from those unfortunate to have contracted the illness.

Darn my college final is only two weeks away.

What's your favorite & most informative website on this subject ?

Please give answers to both epidemic and pandemic. I need at least 10 people to respond to this. All I need is 2 or 3 answers for both epidemic and pandemic.

I don't think the swine flu will turn out to be the global disaster that some people are fearing, but I've found myself thinking about "12 Monkeys" a lot over the last couple of days.
What are some of your favorite epidemic/pandemic themed movies?

My family say I am being mean and over reacting because I force then to wash hands before touching my little one! ( i was doing it before the swine flu junk)

I think there is a conspiracy going on by the government to not let us in on a pandemic outbreak of several viruses. The first one was the Adenovirus outbreak which is still going on and could be of a sometimes deadly strain. Then now there's something else out there, I don't know what it is but it involves coughing and fevers, might be a strain of the flu. Anybody else seeing people dropping like flies?
