The last time the US made a swine flu vaccine it filled rehab hospitals with paralyzed people, The diagnosis as Guillian Barre Syndrome. Luckily, for most, the paralysis subsided after 6-12 months! I nursed the victims during recovery. Do you think the government told us it was their vaccine causing the mystery paralysis?

Slow down. Stay calm. Pick up some hospital-type face masks - just in case it comes to your neighborhood.
First reported Mexico case was March 18 - right smack in the middle of Spring break for college kids. If it has a 4-10 day incubation period, that means that new people will catch the respiratory illness from the existing ill folks and this will continue and continue until it dies out - if we keep sick people away from the healthy. In that sense, it is no different than our typical flu season. As of 7pm EST April 25, USA has CA, TX, Kansas, and NY cases so far. Most have ID'd recent travel to Mexico. Don't wait for government - people with respiratory illness should not mingle! Stay home - in your room! And, you couldn't pay me enough money to get on an airplane over the next month or so.
