Follow Up on the Flu Pandemic
After doing some research, I found out that the Flu Pandemic of 1918 started in the spring with mild symptoms and did not spread as quickly as it would later. By late fall or early winter, it was in full swing. Although, there is no way to predict whether this strain will do the same thing, the likelihood is fairly decent that it will spread much quicker in the more-conducive-to-spreading-germs fall/winter months. Many experts and governments are planning on this timetable. Anyway, that is my two cents.

We are very concerned about it here as there have been 8 deaths so far. The first ones had other health problems, but at least one didn't except for being over weight One died while waiting for the tests to come back to see if she had it. (They now start treatments before the tests come back.) It is also still spreading here.
