A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Swine Flu in the News

For those of you who don't have much time for skimming the press:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/apr/27/swine-flu-mexico Very comprehensive in my opinion

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/SwineFlu/Story?id=7436694&page=1 To quote this article:
"How does the swine flu spread?
Researchers are still investigating how easily the swine flu virus spreads, but experts said that transmission likely occurs the same way people pass on the usual flu: coughing or sneezing from sick people, shaking hands or otherwise touching people who are infected with the virus, touching surfaces and objects that sick people have touched." And to further quote:
"Can I get the swine flu from eating pork?
No. There are no signs that people can get the swine flu from eating pork."

Here is what I found printed in the Gulf News:

Read and stay informed.

Peace.
