Are we out of the woods with this thing?
It seems some people do not think so....
With Southern Hemisphere Winter just a few weeks away (see below), I think this thing could rear it's ugly head even more than it has as of yet. Sort of like a storm and the eye of the storm and then the other side of the storm. Just some thoughts......
We will see I guess.
JSOnline.com AP News: "The Southern Hemisphere is particularly at risk. While Africa still hasn't reported any swine flu infections and New Zealand is the only country south of the equator with confirmed cases, winter is only weeks away. Experts worry that typical winter flus could combine with swine flu, creating a new strain that is more contagious or dangerous.
Still, the U.N. health agency urged governments to avoid unproven actions to contain the disease, including group quarantines of travelers from Mexico and bans on pork imports.
'Let me make a strong plea to countries to refrain from introducing measures that are economically and socially disruptive, yet have no scientific justification and bring no clear public health benefit,' Chan said in a video message to the U.N. General Assembly in New York."
