The AIU Swine Flu epidemic

Well, I don't know about the rest of the world but things are getting kind of crazy here, there are free surgical masks everywhere, and anti-bacterial spray. Rumor has it that if there are 3 confirmed cases classes will be canceled, if that is indeed true then the chances of that happening tomorrow morning are extremely high. Of course the school put several people into isolation for a week after they were confirmed as having swine flu, as such I think some people might be hesitant to report it.

As far as I go, I do seem to feel very mildly sick, actually I think I'm getting better, somewhat surprising as I did end up getting the flu last May in New York right at the peak of the epidemic then. Perhaps however, the reason that its relatively mild now is that I do have some immunity to it.

I'm not really sure if the precautions are being taken too far, generally I would say that swine flu isn't any worse then the regular flu, and all these precautions won't do very much. But a LOT of people seem to be getting sick, so I guess we'll see.
