H1N1 Flu Update

It seems to us that folks are overreacting just a bit to the new flu strain. We suggest calm. Please keep in mind that 36,000 Americans die from the flu every year. Yet we don't close schools all winter or avoid public transportation or walk around with masks on. There is NO evidence that this new flu strain is any more serious than other flu strains. In this case, different doesn't mean worse. It just means...different. New flu strains appear all the time. The H1N1 strain is simply a part of this process.
Stay tuned for more as we learn more. I'm going to the mall.
