I'm not really worried, but then again I haven't looked much into it. Has the virus been able to spread person to person or is it just a Swine virus that has a high propensity for going from pig to human? Also, I thought that H1N1 was a strain that we already had dealt with and have vaccination for since it was the cause of the Spanish Flu in 1918-1919.

It is for sure spreading from person to person. Many articles state that, for example this one:

There are no vaccines since it's a new strain.

Hmm never heard about it as I almost never read the news if it is not game related :P

I will stay inside and shut my windows and door and never meet anybody until it is over :S

No seriously I hope it doesn’t get out of control

I don't care. If anything this is good as it means its helping to decrease the population.

Obama could have caught the deadly flu, but didn't. One of the Mexican officials he met during his trip last week died of flu symptoms the day after he met with Obama.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Obama is the one that gave him that flu.

Sounds like Obama is secretly killing off people in high power who he doesn't like.

It appears that there may be a case in Israel. I know that some people were tested in the UK, as they had just got back from Mexico and were showing symptoms, but they were found negative.
