New Swine Flu Virus

[Mistery]

I was really shocked to read about the new swine flu virus.
And I hope that there won't become a pandemic.
So far there are more than 100 deaths in Mexico and many cases in the US, and as I've read also in other countries.

We have here 9 not yet confirmed cases, the patients are still being examined to found out if it's this new virus or not.

I am not going to panic, yet. It looks bad, but it isn't certain it comes really to a pandemic. My biggest relieve is there is a medicine. Though I am concerned by the whole news, and I am following it closely.

Currently 159 people have died from the Mexican Flue. All 159 are Mexicans. In the USA there are 64 people infected (45 in New York City, 10 in California, 6 in Texas, 2 in Kansas, and 1 in Ohio). In Canada there are 6 persons infected, in Costa Rica 2, in New Zealand 10, in Israel 2, in Spain 2 (and 20 ppl are possible infected), in Germany 3, in UK 5, and in Austria 1.

Australia has 91 suspicious cases, France still 1, and Switzerland, Italy, Denmark, and Sweden have suspicious cases too.

I'm not panicking either, but of course it makes me worried, and I hope that it won't spread out too much.

I hope too it won't spread out further, and will be under control very soon. And I too hope they soon will find out why the virus only appears to be fatal in Mexico, so they might can cure the people in Mexico too. If I was living in Mexico I probably would be scared. I feel so sorry for the people who live in Mexico and for those who have relatives and friends there.

I assume that they needed some time to find out that there is this new flu, and by the time they knew it, it might have been too late for the first victims in Mexico.

Its a pretty big deal down here in Australia, everyones talking about it. 91 suspected cases and we are so far away from Mexico.

The Mexican flu has made its first victim in the USA. A child of 23 months.

[GODA]

Also here in Portugal its all over the news.
Though, so far we only have one suspicious case.
Our prime minister says everything is under control and that our health services are prepared for a situation like this.
I'm not in panic because i'm sure they will soon find a cure for this flu.
But i'm sad for all the people that already have suffered with this.

I've been following it all very closely, as well. We have the swine flu withing 25 minutes from where I live. And my state has 15 confirmed cases, and 23 that they are investigating. I'll admit it - I'm very worried. It's so scary. Makes me want to skip all my classes at my University just so that I'm not around large groups of people.

At last count that I saw, there were more than 2,500 people sickened with what they suspect is the swine flu in Mexico. It's so awful, and scary. I, too, hope that they can get this under control. They say that even if it levels off a bit, it may return more virulent in the fall during flu season.
