    Yeah we've been working hard for this so I hope we can perform!

    We'll see as the days go by what is in store for us. With technology and medicine, I'm thinking we're going to be allright!


    I play Viola, for the B.M.C. Durfee High School Orchestra
    I'm sure that your students will perform well!!!!!!!
    (sorry, a bit off topic)

    Yes, just leave it up to time and guys in white suits with toupees That's what I'm doing, anyway. I've been washing my hands properly and everything for years.

    Thankfully this flu is not of worth of all that worry I guess. But I wouldn't feel safe by knowing that officers are taking care of it in the airports here, for some reasons: the health agency is not in the airports everyday, we only have one hospital that can really manage these illness, and come on, our gov. cant deal with old stuff like malaria or 'dengue' and other diseases, so if something serious arrive here like, SARS, we'd be all dead.

  3. Confirmed cases within 300 miles of me.
  4. my Uni seems to be in the spot light abit for this, some students house mates have this flu after returning from mexico, no signs of spreading though
  5. Two confirmed cases in Virginia. One of which is in my county
    Although apparently the virus lacks an amino acid that helps it reproduce, so like someone said earlier(Can't remember who, sorry!) it's getting weaker as it spreads

    Assuming this is the case, I'm guessing the worry is that the virus will evolve and develop said amino acid or find another way around - it would be foolish to ignore or dismiss the virus, but on the same point the hype it's getting is ridiculous. If it gets weaker as it spreads, I'm guessing that's because it's developed in a certain environment and cannot cope in its present form outside of that environment (no doubt hence the lack of fatalities thus far outside of Mexico), so here's hoping that it dies its own death and a) falls acropper in Mexico primarily and b) doesn't evolve elsewhere around the world.

    Hopefully it will die out
    (I tried thinking of a more thoughtful answer, but you kind of covered everything)
    BTW, that picture was amazing
