Hi Gangis, I would try to avoid traveling, or scheduling any business/leisure trips. My concern is not only about catching the infection, but infecting others as well.

I care and worried about it..I'm thinking what if it gets to my area and spread. I think its best to avoid traveling out of my country until the flu is overcome. But I am glad that the government takes precaution about this.

Thanks for the response shikaymaru, Many countries became cautious about this alarming outbreak and it's good that different governments are taking good care of their countrymen. Have a nice day...

I guess it doesn't really matter considering that the swine flu is here in the states too.But,it seems to be deadly in Mexico.I would not want to go to Mexico.

Swine flu must be alarming and it was heightened up by WHO because of it wide-spread disease all over the world. Though it was suspected in Mexico many countries are now affected by swine flu. Thanks and have a nice day....

I went to South Africa and whilst there did see some adverts that were a bit worrying like about TB. I have been to countries where there has been a risk of catching malaria. There is a risk of illness in any country. I wouldn't want to visit Mexico because the risk of catching the swine flu there is strong. I am glad that I have already been to lovely Mexico. I will still travel to countries where there is less risk of catching swine flu.

Hi gangis, I donĀ“t mind diseases that much. I think that you can get sick anywhere and you can take some precautions not to get sick. As for the swine flu, the media has made a worse thing than it is. Aviar fleu was worst and we survived.
