Swine Flu


Summary:
We are at the second highest level of caution issued on Wednesday by the World Health Organization due to the swine flu, which first broke out in Mexico. There has been 148 cases in 9 countries we need to start being careful about this flu pandemic, majority of the cases were found in the United States, so far 91 confirmed here in the United States. So far 7 have died in Mexico and 1 in the United States. We are unsure of what virus causes theis flu or why it spreads so quickly. We need to be cautious about what we do and stay calm in a situation like this. Obama sent a request for congress to give $1.5 million to help fight, prevent and find a cure for this flu.
Opinion:
I agree with what Obama is doing because this flu is spreading so quickly; however at the same time it really has not taken many lives i mean think about how many people die from influenza or mono or anything else, I think this may be blown a little out of proportion for what it is and we need to stay calm and in contol as well as being cautious about it.
