Do you have the swine flu?

It seems to be spreading like wild fire but I haven't heard of very many deaths. There seems to be no news coming out about it. The school here has a couple hundred kids out sick and the teachers are told not to say anything to the media or confirm to parents that it is swine flu.

I also heard that the mormon temples and meetings were closed down due to outbreaks.

    There have been a ton of cases, but for the most part, unless the sick person had some other major health problem, was very young or very old, it's just a bad flu. My brother had it. Everyone in his neighborhood pretty much had it. It's bad, but again, it's not really that dangerous. People are just blowing it out of proportion.

    And as far as I know, no Mormon meetings of any kind have been closed. Maybe some were in the really bad outbreak areas, but then I'm sure everything was closed in those places.

    If I had ot guess the media is going to be fairly mum on the topic to limit the hysteria of april/may. When you cry wolf too many times no one listens. This form of influenza right now is not all that lethal. Probably less lethal than the seasonal flu because some older adults have some form if resistance and it is mostly attacking those less than 27. You can still bank on around 100 million americans to contract it in the next year.
