What up nation.  Had a short talk with my aunt who is a MD and consults with the CDC (Center for Disease Control).  Just wanted to share with my nation what we talked about. To begin she talked about how all spring breakers were told to stay out of Mexico because of the crime.  Well most of them didn’t listen and went anyway.  Aside from usual travel, this spring break issh is what I feel sped up the growth of this flu in our country.  People from every state go to spring break and Mexico is a hot spot.  I think it would have eventually got to the U.S. but it has happened so quickly. Earlier today I heard that the threat level has now been raised to its 2nd highest level which means worldwide pandemic status is inevitable.  She told me that there would be more deaths as time went on.  She said it shouldn’t be a shock either.   This swine flu is similar to the regular flu but all the symptoms are worse.  If you have a fever higher than 101, have terrible terrible body aches and have no energy at all please go get checked out.   It’ll be hard to protect yourself at all times in big cities such as NYC but there are some tips.  She told me I don’t have to start wearing a mask yet but that time may come down the line.  If you see someone coughing in a room with you or in your immediate area simply cover your mouth/nose with a tissue and leave the room for a while.  The flu can live long enough to be transferred through touch or inhalation.  Keep anti-bacterial gel with you at all times.  Get in the habit of washing your hands often especially before touching your face or eating.  At ATM’s if you can, push the buttons with tissue.  Handling $ and shaking hands have new meaning now so just be careful.   There is medicine for this flu but if you don’t need it yet don’t take it.  We don’t need the flu to develop a defense and adapt, then we’ll all be in a big ass casino gamblin’.  I don’t wanna see that.  Hope this helps some.  Be safe all
