The Senior Class in my school went 2 weeks ago went to Cali. Near Hollywood and stuff. I sure hope nobody in my school catches it! My Dad has no immune system and it's scaring me to my wits end!! Its scary! Time to get hand sanitzer and wipes so I can wipe stuff done at school! I have the flu vacnation and I don't know if that will protect you from it or not.

I hope everybody stays Precautious and Healthy! :)

According to the experts, the Swine flu now is at it's weakest. The longer it passes around the stronger it gets and will become intermixed with the seasonal flu which will make it vaccine resistant. Swine flu will taper off and go away or it will incubate and resurface with a vengeance. No one can predict what it will do at this point.

The video link I posted earlier explains this much better.

That really worries me. Not just for everyone but my daughter and her family live near there. She has a 2 month old baby, a 20 month old, and a 9 year old.

The 9 year old was hospitalized for pneumonia a couple of years ago and takes asthma medication.

Remember that you may be "lucky" to catch it now while it's "mild" and Tamiflu is still available and works on the virus before it mutates into resistance.

Well if someone must get it in Seattle, I would gladly take on the swine flu if it meant saving your daughter from getting it!!! I would sure hate for a pregnant woman to get it!!!
