We can finally get out, now the swine flu hits!
I realize the swine flu isn't worth panicking over - yet, but is anyone else just a little worried? We can finally start coming out of our winter bubble, now this?! Do the worries never end?!

Re: We can finally get out, now the swine flu hits!
The same thing happened with us last year, except it was measles instead of swine flu. Totally NOT FAIR!!
The swine flu has me a little bit freaked out too. It's just so gross sounding.
Tell me about it. My MIL is going to MEXICO next week. Granted she is going to the Cabo end and not Mexico City but still. Mexico = deadly swine flu. When she gets back I am going to have to insist she wait at least a few days before coming over to ensure that she isn't sick.
Luckily she is just as worried as we are so she will be as careful as someone can be.
One of the infectious disease doctors at my mom's hospital told her that she should bring masks home to wear because it's *that* bad. Awesome.

Whaaat? To wear all the time, out in public and stuff? In what state?
I am not too worried, but if I lived in Texas or California.. I definitely would be!
I am a travel agent, and this is our latest information for people traveling to Mexico:
So what?s going on with this ?Swine Flu?? It is a flu that has been found in Texas, California and Mexico city. There have been some cases found in NYC from people who have been to Mexico City. At this point there is no definitive conclusion as to where it has originated from, as symptoms have appeared in multiple countries.
There is no kind of accelerated CDC warning or official US travel advisory against traveling to Mexico.
In Mexico City, where the population is 28 million, they are discouraging people from public gatherings such as soccer matches, etc.
There have been no reported cases in the resort areas of Cancun, Riviera Maya, Cozumel, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit or Los Cabos.
There is no refund policy from the hotels, because as stated above, there are no reported cases from the resort areas. So, unless they bought cancel for any reason travel insurance, they are in penalties at this time.
