Eeep! We have one case in Kentucky. A woman who recently visited Mexico came to Warren County KY then traveled to Georgia (I think) where she is hospitalized.

Yes Janie that is correct, she lives in KY and somehow wound up here in GA!

As of yesterdya P.M. I have the sniffles, sneezes and a sore throat and am taking sudafed every 4 hours nothing major, just the start of a cold. But if it turns out I have the swine flu, I will keep you guys posted and let you know how it feels.

CanMan do you remember when the "Ebola" virus hit, and was especially hard-hitting in some of the African nations? That was a horrid disease and as bad as it was somehow it was brought under control. I am totally convienced we have already lived to see a small taste of what you were referring to in your comment when we witnessed the Ebola break-out. But I really hate to see people panic, to err on the side of caution is one thing, to go bonkers over WHAT IF is quite another

Good grief! I hope you are ok.
Take care of yourself.

I remember it in Africa in the 70's and it hit the US in the late 80's but had mutated so it never affected any people that I'm aware of, only monkeys.

The Ebola Virus is often referred to as the "T Rex" of the virus family in its original form and is at a level with Anthrax, Black Death, Typhoid Fever, Mad Cow, and the Flesh Eating one. All real nasties you never want to be around.

Whew, nice topic.

What irks me is CNN and FOX News BOTH air nothing but Swine Flu crappola for HOURS non-stop... then they offer-up a poll question: "Do you think Swine Flu coverage is needlessly excessive at this early stage, and that it's inciting the population into stressful panic?"
