Not to be alarmist, but my niece's friend's brother was in hospital here for the last 7 days with Swine Flu. At least two schools have closed (both private). Not feeling excited about being two degrees from it.

Given that there have been no confirmed cases in TN, how is that possible?

Am I going to be washing my hands a lot? Yes. But we have to make an attempt to be realistic about what is ACTUALLY more likely to kill us, and the answer to that question is cars.

As of the afternoon: 1 confirmed. 13 being looked into; one suspected of those. 11 of the cases are being seen at Vanderbilt Hospitals. Good thing I work 2 blocks away. Has not stopped me from going to restaurants, bars, a fundraiser, synagogue, a dance recital, grocery stores and a house party this weekend. I was my hands a LOT.
