The swine flu is the latest and biggest virus that is going around. I don’t know if I was out of the loop or not, but I just heard about it the other day and now it is all I hear about. I was listening to NPR today and they were saying the president of Mexico has shut down all of the schools in Mexico until at least next Wednesday.  That is huge in my opinion, but I also think that is a step in the right direction. Like most people, I don’t want this to become the epidemic that everyone is talking about. The virus has now spread to Indiana, which means that now we have an ever better chance of getting swine flu. I saw a political cartoon in the paper and it was giving ways to greet someone without shaking their hands. It brought a comical approach to a serious subject by giving “the bump” as an example of how to greet someone. I got a good laugh from that.
