Guys this is an AIRBORNE virus. That means you can catch it by someone coughing on you, so make sure you wash your hands and cover your mouth as much as you can around ANYONE sick.
There have been deaths reported with this virus. Right now it is an EPIDEMIC, which means it is spreading "more than assumed". It has the possibility to become a PANDEMIC, or globally spread.
I'm not sure how it started, but the swine flu virus has been around for years and years, it's just not mutated into a human illness. It happens mostly to people who farm (and therefore are around pigs a lot... make sense?). So basically you are alright unless you are constantly hanging out with pigs and not washing yourself afterwords. NOTE that this HAS mutated into a human illness now and there IS NO VACCINE.
Some precautions.. well one. Stay away from anyone who is sick, and wash your fukcin' hands.. If you are sick, STAY HOME.
And Yes, they did lock Mexico City down because of this. They are advising everyone to NOT travel there right now. Also the EU is advising people not to travel to the states.

I edited the guys post. He made a racist comment so I deleted it and he got warned I believe. But yeah there have been 3 cases in Columbus so far. And no vaccine to clear that up.

But he didn't really make racist comment, I don't think the warning was justified. Course what do I know.

i agree with you remember west nile virus lol?
i myself have had the flu (not swine flu i hope) for the past 11 days (yes im counting its horrible)
i painfully went to work and school (of course i covered my mouth when i coughed and never went anywhere without hand sanitizer) and took a lot of medicines but now im getting better =D the only people the flu affects much is children and the elderly who dont have strong natural antibiodics.
i think the news people just look for any reason to get people to listen to them... things like the flu are good for them because they say we'll keep you updated and everyone wants to be kept updated so they keep listening or watching the news people

Wow that sucks, i havent had the flu, and i havent physically been sick for like 14 or so years and im 17. I dont get ill (besides the common cold) so im lucky.
But this like i said earlier, its just like the bird flu. People over reacting and saying Humans can get it, when in England only a few people got it and i dont think anyone dyed.
