We have 4 confirmed cases and i think 40 in testing. I think the media is making this into much bigger of a problem than what it really is. The normal flu is just as bad.
Yeah plus.. All the people that died were from either Mexico or Africa. No one has died here yet.
Actually, I think we may have one death so far, and I think it was a 22 month old infant.
 
The count of H1N1 flu victims now is 4714 as of May 15 at 11am edt. Of course, the number of victims has increased since then.

If it were to reach Alaska, it will be very difficult to get rid of, because of the way the flu survives. It thrives better in colder temperatures so climatically speaking, Alaska doesn't get too warm during the summer with average temperatures at around 70F.

Some influenza experts expressed concern Saturday that a new, deadly hybrid strain of swine flu may spark a pandemic. The virus has killed at least 62 people in Mexico and sickened eight in the U.S. Here, people wear surgical masks Friday as they stand in line to enter a hospital in Mexico City.
Ouch. I hope we don't get too many visitors from Mexico.

i was acused of having the swine flu at school by a bunch of immature people because of my heritage. i haven't visisted mexico in years...
