H5N1? No ... H1N1

first the avian flu, now swine flu.

they are discouraging people from going to mexico because swine flu is killing people there, but it is spreading beyond that country. there are two cases just across the border in british columbia, 28 cases in new york city, 7 in california, and so on.

those of us who don't travel should be okay, except those who do travel bring it back with them. hopefully i and mine will be able to avoid the outbreak, but it may take some smart thinking.

for now, be sure to wash your hands a lot, and keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth. partake in a little exercise, a little laughter, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet with lots of fiber. if you decide to stay inside and read a book, rather than go to the mall or another crowded location, so be it.
