I saw on the news this morning that some scientists are saying the flu shouldn’t be called the Swine Influenza, because it doesn’t seem to be the pigs who had it.
I also heard that the Swine Flu is one level away from becoming a pandemic. That’s a little freaky don’t you think?
Scientists and doctors are saying that the best way to avoid it is to wash your hands frequently. Plus, don’t travel to Mexico for the next month or so.
