On day 2 of our coverage of the Swine Flu outbreak we, unfortunately, have to report that the number of cases has gone up. The confirmed Swine Flu cases now span 7 countries. The death toll in Mexico is upwards of 150! So far no deaths have been reported in any other country and health officials are investigating why the numbers are so much higher in Mexico. President Obama says this outbreak is cause for concern, but not alarm.
The WHO has raised the Pandemic alert level to 4 out of 6. All nonessential travel to Mexico is discouraged by the CDC. All those who MUST travel to Mexico, the CDC urges you to make sure you have antiviral medications like Tamiflu or Relenza. The prescription meds fight against swine flu by keeping flu viruses from reproducing in the body.
