Obama and the Swine Flu

You won't believe the story I found about President Obama seeking $1.5 billion for Swine flu response.

The U.S. has 64 confirmed cases of the swine flu, with 45 clustered in New York. Infections also have been reported in California, Texas, Kansas and Ohio. While as many as 152 deaths in Mexico have been linked to the virus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported only one person has been hospitalized in the U.S.

With the flu going around and multiple forms of "advice" to stay healthy and beat swine are out there, how safe are we? As a college student at Sam Houston State University, I eat out of the school cafe, Belvin. For example, if a member of the staff in the kitchen were to get Swine, would we all be in danger? Since the virus is passed by people or by contact with infected pigs what can we do to stay in help prevent the disease? Keep yourself clean!
