I've heard that most cruise lines are doing the same thing.

I'm wondering why all the terror hype. Our own CDC describes the symtoms as "mild".  This may be a big nothing.

Unless this suddenly turns more deadly, I too think it is being over hyped . More people have died from the "normal flu" in this same period as have died from the swine flu.

I removed a couple of threads from this post.  Please folks, do not give the impression that you'd be eager to see our President dead.

How about just very heavily congested, sore throat, and sneezing a lot....?

As I predicted:

CDC says Texas swine flu death is first in U.S.

The first reported death in the United States from the swine flu outbreak was that of a 23-month-old Mexico City boy who fell ill in Brownsville and was transported for treatment at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, where he died Monday, officials said.

Dr. David Persse, director of the city's emergency medical services, said the acutely ill child was admitted to a Brownsville hospital on April 13 and immediately was rushed by medical transport to Houston.

According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, the boy already had "several underlying health problems" before he flew to Matamoros on April 4 and crossed into Brownsville to visit relatives.

The boy came down with a fever April 8, followed by other flu-like symptoms, the state said.

Persse learned of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmation of the virus before dawn this morning. Other people accompanying the child have shown no signs of illness, and the boy was not known to be sick when he crossed the border, Persse said.

You know better than to ask a question like that. The U.S. taxpayer, of course! Why? Because Dear Leader insists on spending money left and right! No amount is too large!

You have to wonder if many of the suspected cases are nothing more than typical 'Montezuma's Revenge".

I'm inclined to believe that this Flu scare is in order to distract us from something else that is going on. I've heard that the WHO will raise the pandemic level to level 6 within the next couple of days.
