BreakingNews Japan is on alert because the swine flu outbreak; Narita airport will check the health of every passenger flying from Mexico City.
The quarantine station of Narita decided to use thermographic imaging to check the temperatures of passengers arriving from Mexico.
If only we were smart enough to do this.
Yeah, would be racial profiling in the US.
WHO (World Health Organization) had a big meeting today and came out with an announcement that said this particular flu appears to have the ability to participate in a pandemic ~ that is, it's an Olympic Class athlete among flu viruses, and, with 8 out of 90 who've been diagnosed as having the disease dropping dead, we already have a 9% deathrate.
That's pretty serious.
With no one having any natural immunity to any swine flu virus of any kind, it's possible everybody could catch this one ~ but Tamiflu seems to work in some cases (they hope).
Well, they got a first hand introduction into "international customs" didn't they?
