Swine flu when will it end? Is the swine flu sweeping across the country like wild fire or just a few states?. Barack Obama has hopes that the swine flu virus will run its course "like ordinary flus. The government reported more than two dozen new cases and Continental Airlines curtailed flights into more heavily ravaged Mexico. But with people flying all over the country chances are that more states will start reporting more cases Obama told reporters that he is" optimistic that we're going to be able to manage this effectively," as got an update from his Cabinet on the federal response to the health emergency. At the same time, he emphasized that the federal establishment is preparing as if the worst is still to come so it won't get caught flat-footed. We all know from past experiences that the government never gets anything done in a timely manner or correctly. Obama's fresh take on the flu scare did not hold any water as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the virus has been confirmed in eight more states. If you take all his double take and throw it away you can see that things are getting worse in the u.s.A.. They are doing nothing to stop it from affecting the entire country. Confirmed cases have risen from 109 to 141, the CDC said, and it said the flu now is in 19 states, up from 11. Separately a few states reported slightly higher numbers. So with nothing being done you can bet in will soon be in all fifty states of the union. Bet they have been vaccinated. Obama said it wasn't clear whether the flu would be more severe than others before it, and he said the swine flu is a cause for special concern because it is new strain and people have not developed an immunity to it. Wonder where all these new strains come from? Could this be a new age of germ warfare or do these new strains just pop out of thin air? Government agencies are trying to prepare in case the flu comes back in a more virulent form during the traditional flu season, â€which is a joke because it has not left yet to come backâ€. the president said, talking of an overarching effort to help schools and businesses while also responding to pleas for help from other countries. This last statement is kind of weird as the U.S has never pleaded for anything in the past. Most travelers have become increasingly concerned about going to Mexico,†you must be brain dead to want to go to an a place where a new disease has manifested itself †though authorities there said new cases and the death rate was leveling off. Continental has over 500 flights a week between the United States and Mexico so no wonder the country is affected. Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said Friday that no new deaths from swine flu were reported overnight for the first time since the emergency was declared a week ago. Mexico has confirmed 300 swine flu cases but stopped reporting suspected infections when the number approached 2,500. There have been a dozen confirmed deaths there from the flu, although reports have indicated that roughly 120 may have died from it. Of the curtailment of airline flights, Continental's chairman and chief executive, Larry Kellner, said that "we were already experiencing soft market conditions due to the economy, and now our Mexico routes in particular have extra weakness." It seems to me when it comes to business that death second place to money. But the bottom line is that if millions die from these kind of diseases that there will be less people that will be flying anywhere and many more will start going out of the country bring back these types of diseases. Many emergency rooms in New York, California and several other states are seeing a surge in patients with coughs and sneezes that might have been ignored before the outbreak of this disease. Concern’s were voiced as the President had just recently visited Mexico and his comment was "We're not the Typhoid Mary family, for goodness sake," he told the Post. "We've been told that we're not contagious. We're already past the seven-day mark for that." Will miracles never end with these high profile people. So far U.S. cases are mostly fairly mild and, officials said, most so far haven't required a doctor's care. Well I am not a doctor but if it keeps spreading couldn’t evolve into a more deadly strain? And wouldn’t it be a good idea to quarantine these people so that does not happen? And isn’t it here is the u.s. because they didn’t do that in Mexico? This was reported by the News †The U.S. is taking extraordinary precautions â€" including shipping millions of doses of anti-flu drugs to states in case they're needed. Here is an interesting clue The US is sending drugs to the statesâ€â€ So the U.S. and the states are 2 separate enities which many of us already know and has many implications. Late Thursday the Department of Health and Human Services announced it was buying 13 million new treatment courses of antiviral drugs to replenish and grow the U.S. strategic stockpile. Eleven million treatment courses have been sent to states â€" 25 percent of each state's allotment â€" and the U.S. also announced plans Thursday to send 400,000 treatment courses to Mexico. Looks like the drug companies come out on top again. The World Health Organization is warning of an imminent pandemic because scientists cannot predict what a brand-new virus might do. A key concern is whether this spring outbreak will surge again in the fall. Looks like our scientists are as dumb as the rest of us as they know nothing more than we do, and I thought they knew it all. Here is an added list of confirmed cases: New Jersey with five cases, Delaware with four, Illinois with three, Colorado and Virginia with two, and Minnesota and Nebraska each with one. The CDC reported one case in Kentucky and none in Georgia, while Georgia officials report one case there â€" that of a sickened Kentucky resident who traveled to Georgia. CDC previously had confirmed cases in New York, Texas, California, South Carolina, Kansas, Massachusetts, Indiana, Ohio, Arizona, Michigan and Nevada. So in conclusion it is spreading all over the place and we have no means of protecting ourselves except to lock ourselves in our homes till this is over. My dad always said that out of something bad usually comes something good. So I thought about it for awhile and here is what is going to come out of this that may be good. As has been reported the airlines are making less trips to Mexico. So the airlines are using much less fuel which means we won’t have to import as much oil to make fuel. Many people who were going to drive to Mexico will not be burning up gas driving down there saving us gasoline, oil changes and because the car will be parked fewer emissions from autos so the air will be cleaner.

So in conclusion it is spreading all over the place and we have no means of protecting ourselves except to lock ourselves in our homes till this is over. If you plan on traveling this summer maybe you should consider staying in the states and going somewhere you can just drive your car. Try to confine your family where you are not in contact with many people. You can travel to the beach and fine a spot where you are not to close to others. Or go to a resort and use the ammendities they have to offer. It is not worth a few days of fun for weeks of suffering. I am not saying to stay home but just be careful who you come in contact with.
