Times Log

Monday: I felt really uninformed when I learned about the potential pandemic of the swine flu that is currently taking the world by storm. I guess that's what happens when you don't pick up a news paper over a weekend. In our group discussions today I found that I, like most people, was interested in the basics of the swine flu. For instance, how do you get it? what are the symptoms? where are the cases? what are my odds of getting it and surviving? what's the treatment? I found all of these questions could be answered by a simple Q and A. I think the Times did a good job of answering most of these questions and providing enough information as to not provoke a panic.
