As of 24 hours ago (last update I saw on the news), 68 in Mexico had died from what they believe is the swine flu, with another 2,000 or so infected (again, presumably swine flu). In the US, only a couple dozen or so were believed to have it. Considering the populations, this is currently very small for both countries. But it is causing concern because it has evidence of spread person-to-person. I live in a border state (Texas) and I'm not personally concerned about it (yet, anyway). The media has been reporting it because they all want to break a hot story and not be accused of not alerting the public. Border states would be more likely to be affected (Texas, Arizona, California, New Mexico). What state will you reside?

Confirmed cases have been also found in Kansas and Canada.

I've been in OH for 2.5 weeks now and the only thing I got is some seasonal allergic rhinitis. But yes, swine flu is very real. Started in Mexico, now with 68 deaths, cases also noted in Texas, Canada and NYC. Would be a good thing to build and strengthen your immune system.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. declared a public health emergency Sunday to deal with the emerging new swine flu, much like the government does to prepare for approaching hurricanes.

Officials reported 20 U.S. cases of swine flu in five states so far, with the latest in Ohio and New York. Unlike in Mexico where the same strain appears to be killing dozens of people, cases in the United State have been mild — and U.S. health authorities can't yet explain why.

US declares public health emergency for swine flu

WASHINGTON – The U.S. declared a public health emergency Sunday to deal with the emerging new swine flu, much like the government does to prepare for approaching hurricanes.

Officials reported 20 U.S. cases of swine flu in five states so far, with the latest in Ohio and New York. Unlike in Mexico where the same strain appears to be killing dozens of people, cases in the United State have been mild — and U.S. health authorities can't yet explain why.

"As we continue to look for cases, we are going to see a broader spectrum of disease," predicted Dr. Richard Besser, acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We're going to see more severe disease in this country."

At a White House news conference, Besser and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano sought to assure Americans that health officials are taking all appropriate steps to minimize the impact of the outbreak.

Top among those is declaring the public health emergency. As part of that, Napolitano said roughly 12 million doses of the drug Tamiflu will be moved from a federal stockpile to places where states can quickly get their share if they decide they need it. Priority will be given to the five states with known cases so far: California, Texas, New York, Ohio and Kansas.

Napolitano called the emergency declaration standard operating procedure — one was declared recently for the inauguration and for flooding. She urged people to think of it as a "declaration of emergency preparedness."

"Really that's what we're doing right now. We're preparing in an environment where we really don't know ultimately what the size of seriousness of this outbreak is going to be."

Over Rated Bull$hit.

We had the same stuff go on back in the early 70's

The media as usual has overblown this thing.............

I agree, blown way out of proportion. There's a reason Modern medicine exists. If this happened in the early 1900's I would be alarmed.

Not a good enough reason not to come over to the U.S.

The economy however is another story...that scares me.
