Swime Flu getting worse

The "swime flu" virus is getting worse around the globe and raising major concern. The media has made this out to be worse than it currently is, but it still is no laughing matter. This couls get a lot worse and we need to be taking steps to prevent a pandemic.

The other day Joe Biden caused major concer when he told the media that he told his family to leave the house very little and not to ride public transportation. This caused a swift wave of flight cancellations and the flight industry became enraged. I do not recommend that of which the Vice President did. It is fine to go out of the house, jut wash your hands and stay away from those who are sick.

Russia, along with some others, cancelled and banned and trade of pork from the US. This is also something that is ridiculous because you can not get swine flu from pork.

Those are just two examples of people handeling this situation poorly. This situation is bad, so think before you act.

The situation is much worse, however, in Mexico. 343 people in Mexico have died. It is important that we prevent it from getting that bad in the US. There is one confirmed death in the United States which occurred in Texas.
