Google rocks. We already knew that. Now Google's expanding its flu tracking service to help Mexico figure out where swine flu outbreaks may pop up next. And the International Association of Emergency Managers' university committee is using Google to map cases of swine flu on college campuses. In addition to the four campuses I mentioned in the wee hours of this morning - the University of Delaware, SDSU, Long Beach and Notre Dame - the University of Chicago is looking at two sick medical center staffers, who had no patient contact, and Ohio State has one, also at its medical center, who may have caught the flu off campus. Take a look. The map is both reassuring - so few tacks! - and somehow alarming - we need a map? - at the same time. Yellow thumbtacks indicate probable cases; the green (Notre Dame) means the student has already recovered. Here's hoping the tacks do not become any more colorful. A blue tack would mean new, suspected cases. Red confirms the diagnosis. And pink - the color of happiness, rosebuds and valentines? They picked that for fatalities.
I took sometime to look at this map of the individuals that Swine Flu has effected. I can not help be concerned for my parents that are elderly, my wife that works as a teacher with the public schools and my children that are at three different colleges. I do not believe we sit and wait for the Swine Flu to hit us. It would be like a tornado of in a distance and you could see it. So do you sit and wait or do you do something to prepare for it to land. I know as for me, I take action. I do not see this Swine Flu as anything different. I have been reading up on it and came upon this product that is known to help many things and is being tested on the Swine Flu at this moment. I think that I am going to take a chance that it will help my family. It is known to help many other things, so we would not loose our money by taking this chance. I do not know what you think, but I would be interested in hearing from others about it. The site I am speaking about is: www. Guardian-Silver.com
