Unhappy How`s the "Swine flu" (Influenza) in your country?

Here are a few pictures, about how Mexicans are dealing with "Swine Flu" virus. Its Kind of ugly, and sad around here, what about in your town/country?

I hope things get better for you soon. So far there hasn't been much of an issue here in Toronto. There are a few cases but they are very mild. Not like what you in Mexico are facing.

It's scary and sad I hope it all ends soon. I'm in Texas and they have shut down most schools around here and closed city events. Not much mask wearing but people are taking precautions. My 3 year old woke up two nights ago with a cough and high fever. They tested her and it was just a virus but we were scared for a little bit.

Well, as for Germany, officially we've got only three or four people who got the symptoms but the state says everything is under control. The "sick" people were interviewed and you could not tell they were sick.

But the world wide news about that stuff is freaking me dry of my serenity.

Anyway, eduafe, take care of yourself and of your owns
