this is pretty terrifying. It's already spread to Texas, California, Kansas, and they think it might also be in New York City. The people who have died so far (20 reported so far with 1,000 more ill) are ages 20 to 40, which is odd since the Flu normally targets infants and the elderly. There is no vaccine available with it being a new virus of human, bird and swine mix? which we have no immunity to. It's easily spread from person to person and it has the potential to become a pandemic.
They only advice they can give is to always wash your hands after being outside, try to avoid contact with strangers, and just keep yourself updated with the news.
*hopes for the best*
