What do you think the US should do about this possible epidemic right across our border?

Eat right, exercise, watch your thoughts,  keep out  the poison that Rush , Cheney and O'Reilly introduce in your mind, get enough sleep, have good friends and be happy.

That will strengthen the immune system.  The rest is up to the universe and it's laws.

We need to do something that few people do anymore. Years ago, when people were sick, they stayed home. Too many people send kids out to school sick, go off to work sick, grocery shop and go to other stores sick. Germs are often passed through the hands touching surfaces, passing germs on door knobs, grocery cart handles, telephones, computer keyboards, light switches...the list goes on and on. Wash hands often and keep them away from your face, and hope it isn't airborne!!

Germs are in every square inch of the planet.  Some people get sick and some don't. 

What is the difference?  Healthy people  have better defences. 

That is where the emphasis should  be.   It is the body defenses that have to be strengthened  by healthy living, rather than  killing  the problems with drugs.

It's passing from person to person.

And it contains genetic material from last year's flu strain AND Avian Flu too.

I think there may have been some confusion on my earlier post. I was not advocating the use of drugs for swine flu. Actually they had said on the news that many of the antiviral drugs are usless against this particular strain. That is the reason they are concerned about it becoming a pandemic. I just wanted to clairify that. I still believe in frequent hand washing, and sick people staying home instead of going out passing it around in public.

This is a flu strain that began in pigs, but mutated and became a human to human bug. This is what they fear will ultimately happen with bird flu. So far, we have dodged the bird flu bullet.
