They are in the process of creating a vaccine for the swine flu.. due to start testing on people in the fall. I have heard today from some one who works in the medical field that this flu has been going around for almost 2 months now. Its now becoming a huge issue because of the dealths in Mexico.. not sure how true it is???
They are testing some more people in a county next to mine, On my local news this evening, they are asking anyone who are showing flu like symptoms not to go to local Er's or 24 hour emergency care centers so they can prevent the illness from spreading to others and call the health department hotline instead??? WTH??? I can understand they dont want it to spread, but if any one in my family is sick enough that we need to go to the ER were going!! On the other because that statement was made.. it really makes me wonder how bad this virus really is??? Havent they been saying all along that if you start showing signs to get medical help asap to get the antiviral medicine?? Its not really making any sense anymore.
