It's a wonder there hasn't been a global pandemic yet, considering the numbers of people living in war zones, in unsanitary and crowded refugee camps, without their basic needs.
Swine flu was already here when it was found to come from Mexico. My son had it before it was all the rage. He got it courtesy of his baseball coach who had vacationed in Mexico. Coach thought he had a bad cold. Then he became rather ill. Son missed a week of school. A month after that is when they started calling it swine flu. Most of son’s school had had it by that time.
