Update: Swine flu makes jump to avians. The ability to jump beyween 3 species significantly increases this strain's mutation possibilities.
Just a quick blurb on the swine flu. I only bring this up since 2 people supposedly died recently from this flu type. SO far this flu type isn't that bad...on average 36,000 people die from complications due to the flu. The unique aspect about this flu type is it seems to effect the healthier part of the population.
As a side note...there is some concern over the trial run of the swine flu vaccine. I will try to track down more information.
Florida health site for H1N1.
Certainly it isn't time to break out the NBC (PPE) gear yet, but you may wish to have some N95 masks in your personal 'Go bag'.
Stay alert, stay aware!
