Very much so ... I'm just getting over something ... Started as sore throat but when i coughed it up and out the pain in the throat dissipated ... So i know (sorta) that it is a sinus issue ... Then it turned into fluish symptoms ... Body pains 'n aches and a slight fever and then 2 days of sneezing and runny nose ... Relentless runny nose ... And then it ceased a bit and back to horrendous mucousy? Cough ... Attempted to cough it all up and today i feel like almost all better ... Hopefully ... Twuz awful :( and now my youngest grandson ... 4 year old ... Is down with high fever and sneezing ... Etc. ... I've been around kids continuously hence these illnesses but it's worth it cuz i love 'em all (i reside with 4 of my 6 grandkiddies) ... Lucky me  :)

I'm scared, but Im not extremely concerned about this being a deadly pandemic from what it looks like. So far, only Mexico has had deaths from the virus. Im willing to bet that is mostly because Mexico's health care is not very efficient, and they are not able to treat the disease properly.

Im still nervous though. Any potential pandemic, especially a completely new one made from multiple strains of virus, is alarming. I think we should have stopped people from moving around state-to-state and to and from different countries right when it first showed up to be deadly and a pandemic risk, instead of simply "advising" travelers. Just my opinion, however. :)

Poor Obama, got another humongous problem to deal with!

Close the borders now!  It is on the a nothbound mexician.  I wonder if this is the next part of a grand plan.  The shortage of ammo was the first part of the plan, now not only you can not protect yourself because you can not get ammo plus you may get an illness that there is no cure.  Bewaare of what is around you!!!!

close down elememtary and toddler day care to prevent the spread of the swine flu.  Kids spread colds and flus so quickly.  Older kids know to wash hands...do it like snow days...a month would end it...extend schools into the summer...

do it quickly before it gets into schools.
