okay i pity the Pig but please take care. I know Singaporean are
better prepared after SARS experience.....
The most recent reports Saturday afternoon were of two confirmed
cases of the virus in Kansas -- bringing the number of confirmed
U.S. cases to 11.
Those joined nine confirmed cases in Texas and California and an
apparent outbreak at a private school in New York City, where
officials say eight children likely have the virus.
Tests on Saturday showed eight New York City schoolchildren had
a type A influenza virus likely to be the same type as the Mexican
flu, adding to nine people in California and Texas who tested
positive for it, although they later recovered. Two swine
flu cases were also confirmed in Kansas.

Is the H1N1 swine flu virus the same as
human H1N1 viruses?
No. The H1N1 swine flu viruses
are antigenically very different from human H1N1 viruses and,
therefore, vaccines for human seasonal flu would not provide
protection from H1N1 swine flu viruses.
So you might want to consider taking a new flu shot just to
tackle swine flu.
