Swine flu has arrived

I had a mild case of the flu last weekend (as did Lolo). Since the swine flu is the same one that was around in the late 1970's, we probably had it then and still have some immunity.



This link has a short video.
In the US they treat high risk people with anti virals, but these are expensive and only shorten and make the flu less severe. So here in the Philippines, they aren't being used except in the very sick.
