Swine Flu

The new problem that has hit the news is the flu.  Not only is this a new flu but it is one that has already killed a number of people.  The world seems to have gone crazy since the news broke about the swine flu.  People have been shown wearing masks around, avoiding shaking hands and physical contact, and taking precautions when it comes to flying or traveling to other countries.  The outbreak seems to have occurred in Mexico and has now traveled across the world.  It seems weird to have such an epidemic happen in such a short period of time.  The good news is it seems to have slown down in the rate at which it is effecting people.  We’ll see as the days go by as to how many people this flu will actually hit.
