This Mexican flu thing

seems a tad worrying.

We've had these scares up and down for several years now, but it's true that statistically speaking we're overdue for a serious flu strain. This does seem to be person to person transmission, and if that's the case then I guess the balloon has just gone up. Time will tell.

Wow, seems like a nasty strain, indeed.

Wonder how long before it heads my way.

And still they will not think of closing the borders between the US and Mexico.

I'm planning to stay away from pigs and not pet any Mexicans. Or maybe that's the other way around.

I heard on the news this morning that some people in Texas have been infected but they didn't say where in Texas. My elderly father and wife #3 live in San Antonio and my brother-in-law is currently in Galveston still working on the hurricane restoration. He's a healthy person but the old folks give me cause to be concerned.

It's always a bit frightening.

When I was a kid (way back in the 1960s) the Hong Kong flu was making the rounds. We were living in LA at the time and I was a pretty sick kid for a while. I think, despite the fact that we travel more now, that the CDC, etc, monitor these things a lot more closely than was once true.
