My dad (who has a heart condition and works in a hospital) is in mortal fear of catching the swine flu.

I have some Tamiflu that I got from my doctor about a year ago for a "just in case" event if I got sick. I think I'll call my doctor monday and ask for a refill on that, that way I might be able to get enough Tamiflu for me and my parents.

It's probably too late, but I think they need to close the borders into Mexico AND Canada, and call out the National Guard to watch the border into Mexico to keep people from coming over illegally.

And, grounding all international travel, but that's probably not possible to do and probably too late now anyways.

I've always wondered what it would be like to watch a global pandemic start. I guess we might find out now.
