So the governer held a press conference last night, 2 unconfirmed cases popped up in the next county over. He said the only reason they are unconfirmed is we don't have the test for the exact strain so they had to send it to the CDC but that it didn't match any other strain of influenza so it's probable. He was much better about calming my fears than the US government and said not to panic, we have more than enough meds, and he is going to make sure that everyone gets covered financially even if you don't have insurance or are not a legal resident. One of the guys that has it is in the hospital about 10 minutes away from me so they have been showing pictures of everyone in that hospital wearing masks. It's really kind of creepy.

It was only a matter of time considering where we live. The school sent an email saying they are not closing yet but were issued face masks by the government and have crews ready to disinfect. They say if a kid gets a fever in school they are going to evacuate and have the contamination crew on hand, and will close all the schools in the city. I am hoping this blows over soon, having it ten minutes away from me is scaring me. All night last night I kept thinking I am going to be the first person without a fever to die from it, lol. I didn't sleep at all and when I got up my cold was making my chest tight and I kept thinking I couldn't breathe. I was very close to keeping my son home from school today. So that's my swine flu story of the day lol.
