FYI corner – Beware!! Swine Flu!!

About 81 people had died in Mexico, due to swine flu – it is a mixture of swine, bird, and human viruses. This disease does not only occur in Mexico, but it had spread to the United States too. There are already 11 cases discovered in California, Kansas, and Texas.

What’s happening in Mexico? Mexicans stay home, bringing with them lots of food supplies and some of them are also being checked in the hospitals. People are going home to see their families and trying to be alert.

Symptoms of swine flu: fever, muscle aches, sore throat, dry coughs, vomiting, and diarrhea.

So people, like what my principal said to me and my class mates: wash your hands and try to keep your body healthy by paying attention to your hygiene too. Be careful and just hope that this disease will not spread to our area!!

With loooove (and prayers),
MS
