No, seriously. I wonder if my son and I had it.
Mexican soldiers and health workers patrolled airports and bus stations, looking for people showing symptoms, which include a fever of more than 100 degrees, body aches, coughing, a sore throat, respiratory congestion and, in some cases, vomiting and diarrhea.Both of us had our flu shots, yet we both contracted this bug in late March.
Health authorities started noticing a threefold spike in flu cases in late March and early April, but they thought it was a late rebound in the December-February flu season.

Sheesh, this popped up pretty quickly. No word about it this morning, then as I am driving home from work and listening to the radio I hear Michael Weiner calling for the US/Mexico border to be sealed.
Just a few weeks ago I was complaining about the flu even though I had a flu shot this season. And this was soon after I had come back from the US/Mexico border. I wonder...
It was pretty bad. I hadn't felt that bad since I saw that Cher video.

It seems most of the people dying from the swine flu are males between 25 and 45.
Immediately, I wonder if their immune systems are compromised.
I fell for this once. I'm not going to click on that link again.
LOL anon!
I'd be willing to bet that public health officials aren't super duper worried about the Mexican flu like they are something like smallpox. Though they are going to treat it very seriously since it will provide them with a good dry run for "the big one".
If they have to hype something to keep us watching, then better this than Al Gore.
Although I would like to see the re-run of Geraldo Rivera discovering Al Capone's vault...clasic TV news.
Even though I teach, I am not really worried.
Though, if they announce the recently dead are walking the earth again, then I'll worry. 8-)
