It had been a hot topic in my area. I just realised it today, when i went out to buy some food at the nearby grocery shop. The shop owner was seen explaining to his customers how the swine flu was spread..He told us, he was listening to the radio whole day, to get updated news of it...

well it was soo hot in the news, not much to the locals as they are not much aware of the implications, just yet. it was soo hard to educate people who care much more about their current situation in their life than the news and possible outbreak of a flu.

Yes, people are definitely talking about it here. Since the flu has definitely hit the USA already, a lot of people are worried we'll see a fast spreading of the disease and experience many deaths as has happened in Mexico. It's definitely a cause for concern.

In my city it's become news that hit as soon as the news outlets got wind of there being 4 cases. In the country there are now 13 confirmed cases, all spread out throughout the provinces.
4 in my city, 2 south of us in another city, 4 in one province and 6 in another.
I know there will be more as many people have gone to Mexico from here including my husband's uncle who goes there at least twice a year.
So it is a hot topic, and will get even hotter as more cases are reported. It will be dangerous to be going anywhere soon.
We were affected horribly by Sars years ago, but this could be worse, no one knows for sure.
