Update On Swine Flu in NY

I said in the other thread that I'd let you know how the students caught it. They were indeed in Mexico last week, in Cancun on spring break. Here is the article:

One more article from our other popular paper:

Posting this for those who are curious...these kids are FINE now, so please don't worry. I don't see any cases in England, although I know there are people from all over here but this is quite limited to a few places.

I guess with flu/colds still around from the winter it's hard to distinguish one virus from another until blood test are done. An air steward from the UK on a flight back from Mexico was taken ill during the flight and taken to hospital when they landed back in England, but it turned out he just had ordinary flu. I guess it's best to be safe.
