Swine Flu

I'm sure that by now all of you have heard about the vicious and scary SWINE FLU!

If you haven't, then where have you been? If you have any connections to technology whatsoever you would've heard about it on the news on TV, or online. If you are one of those people, here's a quick summary.

The swine flu is a flu that usually pigs get, and sometimes people (like farmers) who have contact with pigs. For some reason, that I don't know, it has spread to people who don't even live near pigs. This is what my friend said, half kidding half serious, that I think might be a possibility: We eat too many pigs. Anyway, the cases of swine flu first happened not long ago in Mexico. Hear that, folks? No more vacations in Mexico! Cancel them all!! People in Mexico have been coming to the U.S. and now it has spread here in places like California, Texas, New York, and now the closest it's ever been to me and my loved ones, Maryland. The swine flu is a very dangerous flu that COULD kill you. For now, only one person (10 month old baby in Mexico) has actually died from swine flu.

Tips to Prevent Getting the Swine Flu:

-STAY OUT OF MEXICO!!
-Wash your hands frequently
-Buy some hand sanitizer
-Stock up on the soap

Basically, just watch your hygiene.

Keep safe everyone!
