What would we have done if swine flu hit during a regional?

One thing I wanted to correct people on is that its the H1N1 virus, not N1H1

This is actually a big thing people don't understand the meaning of. Contact with the flu will not make you drop dead. You have 2 days to get treatment within the more urgent symptoms and because the "swine" flu has a strain of regular human influenza mixed in, it is very treatable and preventable.


People need to keep things in perspective in the media, just from January to May this year, over 20,000 Americans died of the regular human pathogen flu. To ease everyone's tension, think about it, the people who normally find the regular flu fatal, are the same people who are threatened by the H1N1 strain of the flu. There is not much difference. Just relax and stay clean.
