I hope they're just playing it safe, or do they know something we don't?

There’s a couple of dozen people sick worldwide, time to call out the National Guard and declare martial law.

Overkill reaction in such a case may save lives if the threat is indeed real.......WHO knows.....:o)

Personally we will cut back public outings for a few weeks to wait and see......, purell, soap , hot water and avoiding public places as much as possible is best defense IMO.

My husband said that he read something that says that it may be getting more virulent as it goes along, and that is why they are concerned.

IMO, Purell is overrated. We're going with Bacardi 151.

Experts are haunted by what happened with the nation's last campaign to vaccinate against swine flu back in 1976. It was halted after 45 million Americans got flu shots, because several hundred people came down with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare paralyzing disease. Some of them died. And in the end, the threatened swine flu pandemic never materialized.

I got the swine flu shot back in 1976 - will it offer any protection?

It’s Amazing what Obama’s done to this country in 100 short days. Bush kept us safe from terrorists...Obama is closing Gitmo and stopping interogation. Barry is creating hysteria for his own political gain.
