News finally hit today that Arizona has joined the growing number of states around the country to have confirmed cases of the swine flu. The good news is that the elementary school child that had contracted the disease had already gotten over his flu symptoms. The case was only confirmed after the CDC had conducted their tests on the sample. The kid’s school in the Phoenix area was closed as a precaution for a week to make sure that no other child at the school get ill.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m really glad that the government is on top of things on a nationwide and a statewide level. I don’t think that this particular pandemic will end civilization as we know it. It seems that we would be a little less prepared for the emergency that ends the world.
Everybody stay healthy!
