Swine Flu anyone?

Mexico seems to be the epicenter of the outbreak, where as many as 103 deaths are thought to have been caused by swine flu, the country's health minister said. An additional 1,614 reported cases have been reported in the country. Countries like Russia and the US are taking serious action to try to combat the spread of this disease. The United States stepped up preparations for a possible epidemic of the virus after 20 cases were confirmed, and Canada announced its first cases of the virus Sunday -- six mild cases. Meanwhile, Russia banned meat imports from Mexico and the southern US. Russia also plans to screen incoming passengers. Yet another disaster for President Obama and his administration.
