over 100,000 cases of swine flu in US

Schools are closing as over 100,000 new cases of mexican swine flu hit US. This is not my drill, this is reality. As expected the disease epidemic that started in mexico and move to america is now a global pandemic.

Please do not panic, this flu is killing less than 1% of the people who get it. However, those who do get it are very sick. Doctors report emergency rooms full of people. They say most of these patients are reporting flu symptoms. Respiratory therapists say that pre-existing conditions make victims of H1N1 virus more susceptible to complications from the mexican swine flu.

Please remember to wash your hands, avoid crowded areas, and eat a healthy diet to make yourself strong. Junk food makes you weak and germs from crowded places can cling to your clothes or other objects. Future of medicine is prevention of germs, not a cure.
